This Is Who I Am

It has ended up that I have some followers so I had better explain myself. I am a pastor, husband and father of 9 great children, a son, a brother, a friend, a counselor, a teacher, a coach, a cyclist, a gamer, a writer, a reader, a poet, a photographer, an encourager, a Canadian, but most importantly, I am a child of God through the powerful love and sacrifice of Jesus.

I am on Tumblr to learn, to laugh, to teach and to support where I can.

It is a joy for me to share my life with you and in turn be blessed by yours. We are the Body of Christ and it is a good thing.
