Personality-wise I am an empath, which contributes to my affinity for helping people, defending the weak, and teaching people. Definitely old school, I prefer playing sports to watching them, reading to playing video games, and talking with people face-to-face rather than using social media. I am a rebel, both against the rules of man and against God. Yet the boy scout motto is still engrained in my mind and God’s steadfast love drags me back to confession and absolution to live in the washing and rebirth of my baptism.
I am a teacher, leader, researcher, scholar, athlete, survivalist and child of God. Not of this world, yet in it, a voice for truth in a world still under the spell of the king of chaos. I witness to the One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whose steadfast love endures forever. An unworthy servant who provides an example of God’s grace and mercy to a sinner, I, like many of the unworthy Biblical characters, show what God can accomplish through the most profane of instruments.
I dedicate this blog to God who gave me all that I have and am, and blessed me with my wife, Barb, who is my love and helpmate and my two children, Chris and Dana, who love me even when I don’t deserve it and are my pride and joy.
