I love to share my journey with God our Creator in helping and walking with others in their journey of life. I grew up in Washington State and moved to Alaska in 1993 to work with teens in our City and State. I am married to a wonderful lady, Polly and have a daughter, son-in-law and son. At the age of 7, through VBS, I believed in what Christ had done and at 17 I committed my life to God. God has brought me through many things in my life and continues to guide my steps. Henri Nouwen stated, "real leaders are those who are able to put the full range of their life experiences...at the disposal of those who ask them." (Creative Ministry) and that is my hearts desire.
I thought for many years that God would love me more if I was perfect, did more service, etc…Through my journey I have learned this, “God loves me as I am and not as I should be.” (Brennan Manning) and I strive to live this in all aspects of my life. The way I am called to do this is through fishing. I love to fish for women and men...and for fish. There are commonalities between the two as it takes time to "catch" them. You have to learn their environment and how to "walk" in to it. You have to learn how to take care of them after they are "aboard". I would love to walk with you through the Church, in conversations, buying you a coffee, taking you fishing or where ever you are in life. Let me know how I and we can serve you. |
