Who I AmI have participated in the Athletes in Action and Fellowship of Christian Athletes since the times of my High School and College sports careers. My prayer groups have included Christians such as Coach Tony Dungy at the Pitt prayer group (it is called Huddle today). The current FCA director, Coach Les Steckle is a friend of mine. The past Athletes in Action leaders, the Olympic wrestlers, and the Peterson Brothers had helped to plant the seed of Christ in my life at a young age. I have been very blessed to have had strong, outspoken, Christian men lead me in my life.
The Atiyeh Family proudly boasts having ambassadors, clergy, farmers, professors, politicians, pro-athletes, Olympians, teachers, and more. The greatest of us was my beautiful mother JamilieIbrihim Atiyeh, who courageously came over to America from Syria, on a boat with three children and pregnant with a fourth on the way. She delivered three more, seven in all with my father. She raised us in faith, with hard will, sacrifice, and hope. She struggled through single mother hood, only knowing God and Faith. She never took one day of welfare, owned property and her own little business. Not bad for a five foot tall, 200 pound, foreign woman, who came off a boat, in 1960s-70s America. God so rightly blessed me with this beyond beautiful woman, who I hope and pray to one day live with on that Great day. Every good thing that I am I owe to her. |

Abortion: Life is good. Life is from God the Father, the Creator “Stop killing babies.” Jesus said that anyone who harms a child of God would be better off if they had never been born.” “They are babies.” “St. John the Baptist jumped in Elizabeth’s womb when Mary approached them.” Look to Luke 1:39-45. Position on Homosexuality: Christ states, A man shall leave his Mother and Father and a woman leave her mother and Father and unite and become one! If everybody today would become a homosexual humanity would cease to exist in 100 years! Of the approximately 7 billion inhabitants on earth it is projected at least 10% have AIDs. That’s 700,000,000 humans dying of AIDs! The black plague was nothing compared to AIDs. It’suncurable. Our Health systems have been crippled by the costs. Our government and some churches promote homo-sexuality and recognize them as legal. |
