About me

Gender Male
Occupation Minister of Religion
Location Bend, Oregon, United States
Introduction I'm a mechanic turned pastor turned Bible teacher turned missionary turned much older than I used to be. It appears that I'm aging at the rate of about one year every 12 months give or take. Mostly take. I highly respect dogs (not only my dog but other dogs) and other people who can be trusted. I'm trying to learn the meaning of friendship. I expect to live forever. So far, so good!
Interests Wtiting, reading, walking in the desert or the forest or on the beach with my dog Buddy (and my wife Jean!), cars, inventing new marinades for grilling meat...
Favorite Movies Blues Brothers, Original Gone in Sixty Seconds, Bullit, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Princess Bride...
