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;
Third, I find that God gives each one of us Spiritual gifts, and talents and skills. And, God works in us to use those gifts to fulfill our part in the ministry of his church. 
1 Corinthians 12:4 - “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.”
    So, let’s look at this whole thing, this whole scripture together: God has created us to be a part of the body of Christ; and He has also given us a purpose in the body of Christ; therefore, He is forever working in us - molding and shaping our lives through circumstances and experiences - to prepare us to fulfill that purpose; however large or small that purpose may be. He also works in us to empower us and enable us with gifts and talents and skills, to will and to act according to His purpose - as we work out our salvation- in order to get the very most out of life as we possibly can; so we can Shine! Shine! Shine in the world around us. You see, it’s a partnership. As we “work out our salvation” God works in us at the same time, and the result is - we reap the greatest potential possible from this short earthly life.
