No Rhyme
Sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Sometimes there ses to be no right or wrong. Sometimes it seems like justice is not served. Sometimes it feels like the righteous suffer more than those who are not. Sometimes life does not make sense. Sometimes death does not make sense. Sometimes there are no words.

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
