| Introduction | I love my life. It's crazy, fun, messy, grace-filled and BEAUTIFUL! I am married to Nancy who is such an amazing and beautiful human. She is my best friend and the greatest encourager I have ever known. Some days I find myself regretting some things in my past, but everyday I find myself being grateful that God's grace makes all things new. I have 3 children, 4 "bonus" children, 10 beautiful grandchildren a kitty named Gracie and a dog named Roxy. I love them all so much! My life goal is to help people get free from the trappings of religion and experience the freedom of grace. Socially I am a Sanguine and relationally I tend toward Phlegmatic. I have an aversion toward people who pretend like they always have it together, but I admire people who are the real deal. When no one is watching I am the conductor for all the music I listen to, I play air guitar and I practice my "batman" voice! Oh, and I cry easily. Sometimes at the movies, and always when I see someone experience hurt, pain and injustice because of their race or sexual orientation. |
