I had a difficult time writing about my self after all of the years trying to have more of Jesus and less of me.  I am a servant-husband-father-grandfather-God father-counselor-pastor.  When you peel away the layers of labels you will find just a man struggling to please God and hopefully along the way we can share in the riches of our Heavenly Fathers kingdom.  My greatest joy is helping people find their way to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  I have been married to my best friend Linda for over two decades.  We live in a little town in south east Georgia where we have a small antiques business and minister to the elderly through visitation and our helping hands.  We are so blessed to have a nice home and live just a few blocks away from our youngest grandson.  Jesus loves me this I know so the bible tells me so is a song and a credo that we need to use as the foundation of our lives.  When I sing this song to a group of seniors their eyes light up and they become like children again full of hope and love.  It is not the technology of special effects and amplified sound that stirs our hearts to worship it is the seed of love planted in our hearts before our birth.  When that seed is nurtured with the water of the Holy Spirit and fed with the word of God it springs forth in worship.

1.  What does worship mean to you?

It is a time of romantic intimacy interwoven with song and prayer.

2.  What do you think happens happens when you worship?  

I honor God with thanksgiving and praise and He honors me with peace and grace.
 
3.  What causes you to worship?

When I wonder about the wonders of His creations a sympathetic vibration of my spirit rises up in song.
 
4.  How is worship displayed in your life?

With a joyful smile an encouraging word and prayer.
 
5.  What is your favorite worship song and why?

Amazing Grace.  The title is the answer and the reason.
