About Me

I'm a pastor (the Bible-believing, Holy Spirit-filled kind), musician and auto racing fan. I'm married to an amazingly gifted Bible teacher and kisser, I have a one-of-a-kind daughter called by God to change nations, the most beautiful grandson ever created in the history of mankind, and I have a wonderfully supportive dad and mom and mother-in-law (my father-in-law, Eric, would be included here but he passed away on August 13th, 2008). I also own a small business -- it helps "float the boat". I think of myself as a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none". I'm better at a lot of things than most people are, but I'm not truly superb at any one thing. The positive about that is you get to wear lots of different hats! I'm part of the 5% of people who are equally right and left brained. And I'm the only child of two only children. I'm a "loyalty" junkie. I value it highly, am prepared to give it, and I expect it back. As time has passed, I don't have a ton of super-close friends, but I do have many, many good friends -- including the first friend I ever made! Brownies (plain -- no nuts, no frosting) are my all-time favorite food (I think). And green chili. The information listed above should explain just about all of my quirks, idiosyncrasies, and behaviorial anomalies! But truly, I must say, I'm supernaturally blessed beyond reason in so many ways. I'm sure that I take a lot of blessings for granted, but I am very, very grateful. Like Joe Walsh says, "life's been good to me so far", and I have the Lord above to thank for it. 

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

In heaven: Jesus -- I've already met Him, but I want to see Him -- know what I mean? I'm sure that my father-in-law Eric would introduce me to everyone else up there like he did for me here on earth. That would include: my grandfather Fred who loved me above all else I'm told, Daniel (the lion's den guy), Paul (the Apostle guy), Martin Luther, Mickey Mantle, Laurel & Hardy, Fireball Roberts, Dale Earnhardt, Jimmy Clark, Graham Hill, Bruce McLaren, JFK, Truman, Washington, Lincoln, Jack Coe, Smith Wigglesworth, A.A. Allen, William Branham, and lots of others.Here on earth: Truth is, I've met more than my share of famous people. I met just about every '70's rock star back in the day, and their general shallowness and loneliness (with a few notable exceptions, of course) made me think that there must be more to life than being rich and famous. More recently, I've had the honor of meeting a great many well-known Christian ministers of the day, and I'd say that just about all of them (with even fewer exceptions) are the "real deal", and I'm proud to call a number of them my friends. But the bigger lesson for me is, people are people -- no more and no less. That said, I think I'd still like to meet Bono & Larry from U2, Bruce & Patti Springsteen, Dave Matthews and Jeff Gordon. And Ric Flair. I think I'd get along great with Peter Gabriel and Bruce Willis. I'd also like to have a respectful heart-to-heart with President Obama and tell him what a good idea it would be to strike-up a friendship with our good friends Paul Cain and Bob Jones.On MySpace: Anybody cool and fun. No chips-on-your-shoulders, no pre-conceived agendas (lighten up!), and no MySpace koochie-ho's -- unless you want the Anointing to smack you like a wet towel!
You Should Play the Accordion
You are eccentric, funky, wacky... definitely one of a kind.
People have trouble putting you in any one particular category. You definitely have your own thing going on.

You are a born entertainer. No wonder you'd be perfect as an one man (or one woman) band.
Your musical influences likely cross all genres - and blend together in a very unusual way.

While you are definitely offbeat, you also enjoy tradition and influences from the past.
It's just your style to take an old fashioned instrument like the accordion and make it uniquely yours.

Your dominant personality characteristic: your total lack of inhibition

Your secondary personality characteristic: your interest in obscure activities and subjects What Musical Instrument Should You Play?
You Should Drive a Corvette
You don't just like to drive on the road, you like to own it. You live to intimidate other drivers with your car's muscle power! What Sports Car Should You Drive?
You are a Believer
You believe in God and your chosen religion.
Whether you're Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu..
Your convictions are strong and unwavering.
You think your religion is the one true way, for everyone. What's Your Religious Philosophy?
You Are a Boston Creme Donut
You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you.
But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft.
You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily.
You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out. What Donut Are You?
