Worth Taking a Look At
One thing I am quite interested in, though rarely mention to people that I don’t know very well, is unexplained phenomena. Because people generally write you off as a whack job for finding interest in such things, I try to keep it on the D.L.. Things that are most important to me are Christ, His Kingdom, my family, and ministry. Showing public interest in unexplained phenomena could potentially... read more

More than gracious!
I have recently finished studying the book of Exodus. And man! That is a hard book to study! There’s the surface level story of Moses and the redemption of the children of Israel, but man there’s a lot of crazy things in the middle.

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.
