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.
Let me just put up my hand here and say that Cricket is not one of my favoured sports. let me enlighten you a little more of this game. There are 3 versions - 1 Day test match, 5 Day test match and the shortened version 20:20. That means there are 20 overs each - each over is when someone bowls 6 times. I think the one day is a 50 over match. So they are called runs, but they look at runs per over....confused?
You can get out by being bowled - meaning the ball takes out the wicket (those 3 sticks set up behind the batter), you can be caught out, you can be run out, you can get out if your legs get hit before the wicket.
The only time I have ever attempted to watch cricket on tv I fell asleep - enough said really!
