By the grace of God, I’m learning to lead a body of people committed to following Jesus Christ. My wife is a beautiful and caring woman and our three children are simply amazing. We’ve been tremendously blessed.
In the picture above I’m laying in a canoe full of decoys sitting on top of thigh-deep muck. We happened to shoot a few nice birds that day.
Why am I blogging? Well, it might be therapy. You know, just write and write and see what comes out. And it might be a great opportunity to encourage others. And it might be just to see how many hits I can generate. I don’t know. Why are you reading?



The blog is definitely a medium you can express yourself through quite well…I’ll do my best to keep up with it and comment from time to time…

Marty,
What a boost to get your comment today. I do miss you and often wonder what your counsel might be in any given situation.
Did you see you rated a mention in my post on Tim Keller? Just want you to know that 6 years later, your influence continues.
