Comment to those looking at my sermons: I attempt to make clear the main point of the passage I am preaching on and I am not afraid to load my sermon's up with scripture. The reading of Scripture transforms us into His image.

Family: 3 grown children
What my parents think of my sermons: They are my biggest fans.
What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: My ex-spouse has gone on to be with the Lord. I am not remarried. But my friends are inspired by what I preach.
Books that have had an impact: So many over the years. I'm gaining a lot of insight from N. T. Wright, and Scott McKnight. The First Nations translation of the New Testament by Terry Wildman (IVP) is healing my soul.
Hobbies: Being outdoors, working on projects around the house, reading.
What I want on my tombstone: Never give up.
