About Me

..I edited my profile at Free Christian MySpace Layouts , check out these Christian Myspace Layouts!
I grew up in Louisville, KY and lived there until I went to college in Tennessee to study for ministry. There I met my beautiful and loving wife, Kristina, and ave been married for 3 years. After graduating Kristina and I accepted a job in Cleveland, OH where I worked for 2 years and in August of 2005 I became the Pastor of Richmond Heights Nazarene Church. God is great, because there is no way He can just be good. My life wasn't always so bright with my parents separating while I was in high school and the rough path I took to find meaning in life. But it was because God cared about me enough that he sent people in my life to guide me back to Him. Hard journey, but well worth it. I can now look at my life and see that it has significance. There is a song out there called History Maker by the Christian band Delirious and it basically says that I want to be a history maker, I want to help change the world for God. This is my calling, this is my life!

Our disenchanted, semi-affectionate, passion-filled (when we want that) LOVE for God

Why is it that we fall in and out of love with God.  Could it be because we love God the same way we love people?  We love Him one day, and disenfranchised with Him the next.  Thin...
