| Introduction | By vocation, I am a pastor. But I also love music, books, cooking, knitting, and nature. I like to take pictures, and I like to explore the world around me. I believe that everything I have and everything I am are nothing other than blessings and gifts of God's grace, none of which I deserve. I believe that I am called to live out that same grace in my life. I firmly believe that my purpose in life is to bear hope in the world. |
