God certainly placed a call on our lives to serve this wonderful community and this great congregation now at Crossroads Church. We weren’t planning on serving God in this fashion, but the plans he has for our lives far surpass our own plans for our future. This is the greatest privilidge we have ever experienced.
Music and books….
I enjoy a variety of music, mostly classic southern quartet music, but I also enjoy instrumental guitar and classical music of all kinds. I enjoy many current writers such as Leonard Sweet, David Jeremiah, Chuck Swindoll. I also read political history along with civil war era history.
Most proud of…..
My wife and children who I treasure as precious gifts from God, along with those Christians I have watched grow closer to the Lord during our Pastorate.
Remember me for…..
Being an effective communicator of the gospel, being an encourager, making people laugh while effectivley communicating the word of God.
