A middle aged curmudgon would best describe me. Having been a bi-vocational Baptist Minister for over 25 years I have seen and experienced both the best and worst of the Christian life. This has made me at times cynical, but also hopeful. I have been happily married to my bride for 28 years now, and count a successful marriage as my greatest achievement. My 21 year old daughter also brings joy to my life as I see her sprouting her wings entering into adulthood. My three cats also are a constant source of peace and instruction. They are always inquisitive, always independent, and always loyal. I hope you enjoy my posts.
