| Introduction | I am a retired, ordained bishop with the Church of God (Cleveland, TN). Although I am a Church of God minister, I am serving as an associate pastor at the Assembly of God Church here in Cleveland. (Retirement has it's benefits.) The name of the church is Grace Assembly - a church that I used to pastor. I was an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God for fifteen years. I retired from the pastoral ministry in 2006 but I don't think anyone can ever retire from the ministry. Maybe one can slow down, but cannot stop completely, as long as he/she is still alive and able to perform. My wife, Janis, is still active, full-time in the teaching profession. She has taught over 33 years in the public school system and she looks forward to the day of retirement. She not only has taught school but has filled the role of 'pastor's wife' for 24 years, and has served as a minister's wife for our thirteen other years together. Other than God, Janis has been my security throughout our married life. I am a blessed man. |
| Interests | Church, Music, Traveling, Fishing. |
| Favorite Movies | I was raised, thinking it was a sin to watch a movie. Now, we have learned that it is a sin only if we watch a sinful movie. Movies that I have watched may have been excellent movies, but for the most part, I don't remember very much about them. |
| Favorite Music | Southern Gospel and some Contemporary Gospel, Easy Listening 'Elevator' Music, and Bluegrass. |
| Favorite Books | The KJV Bible, The Amplified Bible, The Living Bible, and The Message. |
