Nelwyn and I met in 79 when I was enrolled in Bible studies curriculum at Preston Road in Dallas. This was her home congregation (as well as my home church) after graduating from Ilinois State University and making the move to Dallas. We were married June 1980. We have three daughters all enrolled in college, currently. Round Rock has been our home congregation since we moved here from California in 94. The last 8 years I have developed a deeper awareness and appreciation for opportunity as a disciple of Jesus to speak in faith to the economically downtrodden in America.
Interests
Radio wise I listen about 98 percent of the time to NPR. I enjoy the variety of music from folk to country, jazz, Brazilian, latin, Bachata, African and more.
Books
After listening to the entirety of The Shack I am now reading it. It is a really great work . . . of fiction. I never thought of it as a doctrinal treatise or that it should conform to scripture anymore than a newspaper account. I am mindful of some doctrinal errors, but I rely on scripture for my guidance. I recommend this book if you would like to get some insight into how one grapples with and wrestles with God after something as horrendously ugly as the abduction and death of a loved one.
Television
