About Me
I am first a person whose journey with God and others is the orienting center of my life. I seek to share openly of this halting, faltering discovery of the story of God in everyday living.
I can be contacted personally at earthlytents@comml.imap.cc
After 22 1/2 years as a pastor of a Philadelphia area church, and almost two years in New Zealand at Laidlaw College in Auckland, New Zealand, I am located in Dallas, Texas, as the International Director of ALARM (African Leadership and Reconciliation Ministries). ALARM is an organization that seeks to restore communities that have been devastated by tribalism and warfare.
My wife, Naomi, is an amazing person with whom I share my journey. I am blessed with two special children whom I love and admire--Ben, a web designer living in San Francisco Rebekah, our daughter, a singer/actress in Texas.
My passions: reading, popcorn, writing, photography, walking, time with friends and family, thinking about the problem of evil and suffering, peace building and reconciliation, living out the gospel in a postmodern world.
Hi Meredith,
Dorilee and I are so sad and confused as to why this all has to happen to you. No trite answers here. We are still in limbo ourselves, not in health, but in ministry. I've been running heavy equipment and doing some labor work as well, a far cry from the music and worship ministry I thought I'd be doing by now...
Anyway, I'm continuing to write new material. Hoping to record again in January.
a line from a song I'm writing might encourage you:
Life is disappointment
Tangled with the good
And sometimes I can't tell if you're there at all
but this I call to mind
When my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the Rock
That is higher than I am
That is higher than I know
All the best, friend.
