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;

    “He guides me in the paths of righteousness.” When God is my shepherd, I can trust that he will - not that he can, but will - guide me wherever he wants me to go either for my good, or His glory. However, I must make the decision to follow; even if I don’t understand the direction or the even if the path doesn’t make sense. “My ways are not your ways, and my thoughts are not your thoughts” says God…“Lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will lead in paths of righteousness. It may not always be the easy way or the smoothest way, or the way we believe will make us happy, but it is always the right way!
    “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.” God’s people don’t leave this world with no one following. I have seen cars following for miles, someone who has gone through life with the Lord as their shepherd. They don’t leave behind hurt feelings and broken relationships. They have many friends and family; many lives they have touched and been a part of over the years. They leave goodness and mercy and beauty and honesty and integrity as those things which have followed them all the days of their lives.   
    All of life is a decision, and all of life is the result of decisions! Joshua said; “As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord!” I challenge you today to make the decision that the Lord will be your shepherd; and everything else in life will be based on that decision. It’s the most important decision any of us will ever make.
