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.

"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." - Galatians 5:6

The Thoughts of My Friends

1. Nothing that is offensive to any person, group or nation (as Christians we have never been given the right to offend others)

2. Watch your language. Let’s show that education means something

3. Be polite. Remember that a gentle answer turns away wrath.

4. For photos - no nudity, partial or otherwise; no violence; nothing gross or disgusting.
