| Introduction | I'm a grandfather among other things (4 grandchildren now), a Christian who happens to be Anglican (give me a Eucharist ahead of 1 hour praise rave, any time), play guitar & write songs (brother, sister, let me serve you), 36 years married to a very special woman, dad to a married daughter and one married and one unmarried adult son. Inside I'm still young(ish) and my grey hairs are all in my beard. Proud citizen of Whangarei, Northland New Zealand, lover of beauty, of good company, a well crafted and meaningful song and chocolate. I have a dog called Jazz who gets out and about with me in the Maunu morning sunshine. I need to remind myself daily that "Life is Good - cos God is Good" |
