about me

    While imprisoned in 2004, David had a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that moved him from the column of Agnostic to Protestant-Christian and later to Catholic-Christian. On August 8th, 2006 he was confirmed into the Catholic Church, taking Saint Joseph as his Patron Saint. In 2007 he was moved by the Spirit of God to take the new spiritual name ‘Yoseph Miryam Daviyd’ (meaning: God will add to or increase His beloved/prince) and has called himself by that name ever since.

    David L. Gray was born and raised in Warren, Ohio, graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1991, earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Accounting and Management from Central State University (Wilberforce, Ohio) in 1997, and studied for a Masters of Arts in Management at McGregor Antioch University (Yellow Springs, Ohio). He is in the process of going back to graduate school to obtain a Master’s Degree in Theology while he continues to discern his call to point people to Jesus the Lord. He is a Catholic Dad to three beautiful daughters, and now lives in Warren, Ohio where he attends St. James Parish. As a profession, he is an author – he also owns Steel Valley webSolutionS (website design company), and is the Publisher of Steel Valley Vibe Online Magazine.

I could no longer deny that Jesus was real and that He was interested in having a personal relationship with me, but some of those issues that troubled me about Christianity for all those years still lingered in my heart. Ever since I was teenager, I could never understand how those Christians could be in so many different denominations, and each of them teaching so many radically different things that were from what the other denominations were teaching, and, yet, all insisting that they each believed in the same God. I kept asking myself how could they all believe in the same God and simultaneously accept that their God was confusing them with opposing and competing truths? As far as I was concerned, that was not a God worth believing in. . . .  Continue Reading Here
