Growing up with amazing parents who taught me about the goodness and love of God
from the time I can remember, I had the optimal opportunity for a perfect life.
But don’t you know, no matter where you come from or how you grow up, each of us
has this little problem with our moral compass. Sure enough, mine was broken too
and it kept a life of peace with God just out of reach. Fortunately, my parents
and church family were patient with me. And even more important, so was my
Heavenly Father. They continued to teach me the right way and God continued to
draw me to Himself. As I grew, I often took two steps forward and one (or three)
backward. But God had a plan for my life when He created me and He never gave up
on His plan. Jesus saved me at a young age, but over the years I have had to
give my life back to Jesus often. Now I realize, I just need to surrender to Him
pretty much every day.
The more I submit to God, the more I enjoy discovering His beautiful plan for my
life. I see it through my family (beautiful wife Jen and three great young men
growing up in my home: Milan, Josiah and Ben), through my church family and
through my personal times with Him. God has been so good to us. Right now, I am
enjoying my role at the wheel of this amazing gathering of people called
LifeBridge.
Even though there have been some very dark valleys in this life, God has always
brought me through to a glorious new mountain view on the other side. I will
surely see more valleys, and I know there will be more mountaintops to
experience. But what really keeps me going is the promise that the final
destination will be the best mountaintop ever, WITH Him forever. For now, the
journey continues, until that great and glorious day.
What you do on the weekends for fun - Work on our new wooded lot or go for a
bike ride.
