A Taste of the Faithful Life

Welcome

I’m a retired United Methodist pastor who can’t shake the notion that I have thoughts worth sharing with others. Here you’ll find some random ruminations on life as well as sermons, essays, and comments on current events. I offer these humbly as a taste of the faithful life, just as another Rev. James once offered his ale as a taste of the good life in Wales. Naturally, I’m also promoting my latest book. Enjoy!
