| Occupation | Ordained minister of the Gospel, bishop, teacher & prophet of Jesus Christ, by His grace and calling |
| Location | Overland Park, KS, United States |
| Introduction | Spiritually, mentally, & physically "bruised," SEVERELY AFFLICTED (A cross between the pain & itching of hemorrhoidal tissues and Dengue Fever) with "Jeremiah's Complaint" (Jer. 20:9) "But if I say, 'I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,' His word is in my heart like a FIRE, a FIRE shut up in my bones. I am WEARY of holding it in; indeed, I cannot." So...here I am: a minister of God's Divine Word - Jesus the Christ - and a shepherd of His flock by His unfathomable Grace & calling . that includes being a bishop, a teacher & a prophet. The prophet in me is as snarky as Elisha (no bears but I got 3 very ill tempered house cats) that the rabbits, chipmunks, birds, squirrels and other small mammals in my yard used to fear with a mighty fear! Not even the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch would slay mine cats, God's cats (!). The shepherd in me is learning to be loving and attempting to be more gentle. I am NOT INFALLIBLE. So, test my spirit always. Now! Let the provoking begin! Huzzah! Oo-rah! Hoo-ah! & uh, Etcetera! |

You're in the grocery store with a broken cart. How will you ever be that hungry?
Railroad crossing, look out for the cars. Can you spell that without any "R's"?
