About me

I was born and raised in Northern (Superior) Wisconsin about 80 miles from the Canadian border; and, yes it gets very cold there! At the young age of 32 I began to feel called into ministry. One night at a church dinner, my wife Judy and I sat at a table next to our district superintendent. In the course of our conversation, he said that he had a small church that needed someone to supply the pulpit until he could appoint a new pastor. My pastor suggested that maybe I could do that. I agreed, and two Sundays later, my wife and I drove to that small rural church. Little did we know that I would fill the pulpit in that church for thirteen years!

I have now been in the ministry for 35 years after also serving churches in Virginia and Maryland. I am currently retired...well, sort of. In my retirement, I am now serving as part-time Pastor of First Evangelical Covenant Church in Superior Wi. I began writing books about seven years ago, and still enjoy speaking and teaching when I can.

I have a deep desire to help people grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word. My books are what I call a “Quest for Discipleship”. As I said, I am a published author and I have nineteen books which include my latest called "Tell Me, Show Me, Fill Me, Change Me"; "In It For Life"; “By His Hand”; “Show and Tell”; “The Promised Gift”; “Jars of Clay”; “The Kingdom of God”; “From the Pastor’s Desk”; “More From the Pastor’s Desk”; "T.E.A.M."; "Let Earth Receive Her King"; "Therefore" "Principles from Proverbs"; "God's Top ten"; "Prayer Changes Things", "5 R's of Revelation" and two "Renewed Faith" 90 day devotionals all by Life Ministries Publishing. My wife Judy passed away in 2021and I have since remarried to My wife Crystal.

Daily book quote;
Again from the “Christmas Carol”…
“Come in!”, exclaimed the ghost, “Come in and know me better”… Scrooge entered timidly and hung his head before the spirit… Though the spirit’s eyes were clear and kind, he did not like to meet them. “I am the ghost of Christmas Present” said the spirit, “Look upon me”….
    God has no intention of leaving us in the midst of a sin-stained life. And, as we move closer he calls; “Look upon me!”…“Look to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other!” (Isaiah 45:22) And, in our scripture, verse 19, it says; “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him, to reconcile to himself all things; by making peace through his blood, shed on the Cross”…God’s demonstration of his love began in a manger and culminated on the Cross!  Again, the Apostle Paul puts it this way in Romans 5:10 - “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this; while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
    In the Christmas Present, God offers us the greatest gift of all, salvation - through His Son Jesus Christ - the holy babe in the manger…the divine Son on the Cross. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; all things have become new.” “Now is the day of salvation!” What a great message to proclaim this Christmas present season!
