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.

Once again, from the “Christmas Carol”…
“I am in the presence of the ghost of Christmas yet to come…Lead on”, says Scrooge, “Lead on!”
    There is a Christmas future that awaits every child of God - In the Bible it’s called our “glorification!”  It speaks of a time when we who are His will be as He is!  In our scripture we read in the last part of verse 22 - “in order to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation; if you continue in your faith, established and firm.”
    In our Christmas future, Jesus wants to present us “holy” because He has taken away our sin; He has paid the price required of God for our sin, the shedding of blood. He can present us “blameless” because without sin there can be no charge brought against us; and, we are “free from accusation”.  The Bible tells us that Satan is the “accuser of the brethren” but, Christ is our advocate before the Father, ever interceding on our behalf. He is the one and only Savior of mankind.
    God, in the form of the Christ-child, born in a manger in Bethlehem, came to forgive our Christmas Past… to bring us reconciliation and life and truth in our Christmas Present…. Or, you could say that He came to show us the truth about life; and, to give us a glorious hope for our Christmas Future!

    In the “Christmas Carol”, Scrooge had his life totally transformed by a visit from three spirits, who showed him the reality of who he was and who he could be! It’s really the story of Christmas; A babe in a manger, coming to show us the same thing!
