- My favorite quote(s)...
- Be the Change you wish to see in the world - Gandhi
People talk, people are nasty, people are compassionate, people are backstabbers, people are loving, people care. It's this whole mixed up world of people, and despite all of this, the message 'God still loves us' despite our ways, still rings true. We're both in this mix everyday. - My Dad
Etre chretien, c'est travailler pour la reconciliation - inconnu
(To be Christian is to work for reconciliation)
Being a pastor is about giving people good news for their bad situations. - Dr. Ralph Klein

He has always been a resource for me, in my faith and personal development, and I know I can come to him with anything. He was the first person to encourage me to check out seminary, before it was ever anything I would've considered. He is amazing.
- Because of my faith, I...
