Location New Brunswick, Canada
Introduction Pastor, husband, father, follower of Jesus, child of God, easy-chair theologian and scholar. Yes, I am all of these things. Somedays I fulfill some of these roles well; on other days I most definitely do not! Thankfully, the grace of the Triune God--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--upholds me whether I do or not. And here you can read my ponderings, ramblings, and reflections on life, ministry, family, and everything in between. Hopefully, if you do, you will catch a glimpse of truth here and there.
Interests Reading, blasting music in the car when driving, walking short distances, movies, beaches, playing guitar, playing backgammon or rummy or uno with my wife Alisha, Dairy Queen Blizzards and chocolate soft serve dipped cones, ice tea, Coke, nachos, buffalo wings, teasing my mother-in-law, doodling, and most of all playing with my little girl Ella.
Favorite Movies The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Star Wars trilogies, Spiderman 1 & 2, Children of Men, Serenity, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, The Big Kahuna, The Shawshank Redemption
Favorite Music Jars of Clay, Johnny Cash, Brooks Williams, Bono(U2), Bruce Cockburn, Sam Phillips, Raffi, and Sharon Lois and Bram(I am a father after all!)
