Who am I? I thought I knew.. 66 year old pastor of a small home church, husband of a lab manager and great gal, married for 39 years, father of a son who's overcome tremendous odds.. but then I found a world called Thoughts.. and discovered I was much more... writer, poet, standup comedian, mentor, teacher, student.. I opened up my past and reclaimed it..and opened up my heart and understood it better.. I'm on a journey to find out more of me.. and you.. can we walk along together? and when we stop at the pub.. I'm buying..
"the New Testament is of full authority, and open to the understanding of simple men as to the points most needful for salvation..he that practices meekness and charity has full understanding of the Holy Writ.. because God did not write his laws upon tablets of stone nor skins of animals, but upon the hearts of men." John Wycliffe.

May 20, 2013up to you and me to be reminders.. delivery changes, but basic service package remains the same. back to the future. future not what it used to be? nope. never was. no Buck Rogers, no personal nuclear reactor, no instant happiness. we dreamed too small. but the future must be built now. jobs. security. dreams. being taken away to pay for here and now. too many options we don’t need. downsize. basic service package is what we need.
