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. My wife Judy passed away in 2021and I have since remarried to My wife Crystal.

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.

Daily book quote;

    The 23rd. Psalm begins with the most important decision we could ever make in life; “The Lord is my shepherd.” (It’s a fact, it’s a truth, and it is a decision.) David says; “I have made a decision that the Lord is my shepherd. “I shall not want.” That’s also a decision. It’s an attitude. But, it is also a fact, a truth, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!”
    David paints us a great picture here. As we consider our lives and our future both here and now and eternally, every one of us has made a decision as to who we will follow; who will be the shepherd of our lives. If not the Lord, then maybe we follow the world, or maybe we follow some other person or religion, or maybe we have made the decision that we are our own shepherd and we follow self! Well, let me ask you this; “How’s it working for you?” Do you have peace and joy and self-control and kindness and love in your life? Or is life filled with cheap imitations?
    Some people have asked why we would move clear out to Virginia from Wisconsin…or why to Maryland …or South Carolina? There is only one answer - “because the Lord is my shepherd.” He leads us, he guides us, he restores us, even when we don’t know why; we trust him. We have made some bad decisions in the past, but the best decision was to follow Christ and allow God to be in control.
    “I shall not want” says David. He has learned that God supplies all his needs. God cares about all our needs; our spiritual needs, our emotional needs, as well as our material needs.
