My walk with the Lord and His love and grace constantly at work in my own heart and life, as well as seeing Him work in others, also, has been, and continues to be, top priority in my heart and life. As a bi-vocational pastor, both with a major Christian denomination and then as an independent minister, I have enjoyed the privilege of ministering in several areas across this great nation of ours. So you will find links on this page involving a sampling of these, which are forever under construction. LOL

I also enjoy a great love for music. I do not claim to be among the most talented on the planet but am thankful for whatever the Lord allows me to be able to do with this. I enjoy singing and playing guitar. I am grateful that God has even allowed me to enjoy a talent for writing music as well. So I continue to dabble with country, country-gospel, gospel and praise and worship music.

My hobbies and interests also include a bit of woodworking. As soon as I get more pictures, I'll update that link too, so that you can get a glimpse into what I do with what little spare time that I find to work on these interests with.

The one thing about having moved around the country so much over the years, mostly ministry-related, is as to how we get separated and scattered so much in this society and how it effects our relationships. Due to distance, we don't get to see one another nearly as much as we'd like to do so. Our rapidly-changing computer Internet communications are valuable in enabling us to have contacts with family and friends that we would not have if it were not for this modern-day tool that has become so important to most of us.

Shelties have been an important part of my life for several years. I am into sheltie rescue and so the number of furries varies. We are the official ASSA reps for New Mexico. I recently lost Tuffy, a blue merle, has been with me since he was a puppy. He was 11 years old when he died. Shelties are precious gifts from the Lord and are fun to be with. Check out their page on the Shelties link.

My amateur (ham) radio hobby continues to be a lot of fun, as well as providing practical communication and assisting others in need from time to time in various ways. I am currently K5PTL and Kathy's license is K5MOO. Check Out the link to my ham radio web site above.

So I am going to develop and redesign a variety of web pages over time involving a little of everything that I have briefly discussed here. Please let me know what you enjoy by signing the guest book and leaving whatever comments, for better or otherwise, as you feel inclined to do.
