Coffee addict (grind whole beans only), Star Trek lover, history, Civil War buff, hiker of national parks -- My occupational roles have required me to be a resolver of conflicts and frustrations. In my IT jobs and as an assessment official I have learned to listen first, then react.
Personal Message
I am heartbroken over the schism we have created. We must turn from blame to solution. I have always believed the United Methodist Church was an organization to be a united voice for a moral world. We were out front in bringing science and Spirit in unity. We were the actuators of God present in the world. I am resolved to being of one voice in the current world, although like a choir we all sing our part. The fullest harmonies are heard when everyone does their part well.
I try to start my prayers with gratitude and to listen. I try to avoid petition; I believe God knows my needs more than I do. I must be grateful for my church family, the community I lived in, my wife, and sons. In a world of ills, I would be remiss not to be grateful for health and strength. I think Jesus gave us the two greatest commandments and all our theology must descend from these starting points. May all of you find the blessings in your life and may we all continue our walk with Jesus.
