About Me
- About Me: OK, time to talk about myself. That's fine because that is my favorite subject. ;o) To be honest, I like to joke around like that, but when it comes right down to focusing on me, I guess I'm rather uncomfortable. I like sports. I like to travel. I love people. (Probably comes from being part of a big family.) I like making people laugh. I like encouraging them. I love to point them to the Truth. "What is Truth?" Well, I believe that Truth is found in the person of Jesus Christ. I know this to be the case. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! And I love living that abundant life that is found in Him. You can keep your religion, even the religion of "christianity". Religions are just dos and don'ts, traditions and ceremonies, a whole system that attempts to make you worthy before God. I'll take a relationship with Jesus Christ over every religeous system any day!

- Expertise: As my brother said, I'm not sure you can say anything here without sounding arrogant. But here a a few things that I do: I play (only tolerably) the piano, guitar, and harmonica. I play the spoons better than most people, but that's not saying much. I love to sing, and thanks to my Dad I know many old songs. I occasionally write poetry, and I have many ideas for good stories, but I've only finished one. I enjoy preaching, and do it almost without meaning to. I preach in normal conversation. You get me going on a topic and I can preach for a while. I'm somewhat long winded. (As you are probably noticing.)
