Hi there! This is an updated edition of a previous blog (knowthislove.com), so I wanted to introduce myself briefly, without dumping my whole life’s story out on one page. (You’ll get some slices of that in some upcoming posts, under the “Stories” menu option). For now, I’ll just say that I’m a former pastor (and maybe now a ‘pastor at large’; missionary, musician, writer, husband, father and grandfather, part cubicle dweller and part international traveler, fitness enthusiast, and cancer survivor still doing chemo. I love Jesus, my sweet family, and people in general (even if occasionally I’d like to give some of those ‘people in general’ a good slap upside the head, and I’m sure some of them would love to return the favor)! We’re all multi-faceted individuals who can never be fully summed up via any social media platform – but to have such a place of expression is a good thing, right? I’ll be sharing stories from Africa, some teaching articles on matters of life and faith, and some musings on current issues from a biblical perspective. Welcome!
