LIVE and SAY THANK YOU

Family and friends; take time to thank God for every breath. I am so thankful that God has led and sustained us all these years I have been married to Kerry Eileen. Putting God first when things get tough, that is one major lesson. Another is remembering that the bond between us is meant for a lifetime. It has become a safe harbor for three great kids. When I am upset or relationships are not as they should be it is time to reconnect with God. Confession to him and to those I have hurt is a must. Thirty seven years are rooted in the love God has shown me and worked deep into my soul. thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit for hold us all together. I am blessed.
I pray that out of this core of my life God will continue to bless those I serve as their pastor. What a privilege it is to pray for God's people, to preach God's Word, to lead them to Christ and to encourage them to use their gifts in ministry.
Here is my prayer. Your kingdom come in me, in those I love so it overflows to those around us.
