My favorite quote(s)...

"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." - Stephen Grellet

"All stories, even the ones we love, must eventually come to an end. And when they do, it's only an opportunity for another story to begin." - Eric Applebaum, the Hat Collector, in Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium

If I could live anywhere... (why?)

I'd live somewhere near mountains. I love mountains.

Others describe me as...

imaginative, creative, humorous, friendly, unique, disorganized.

I most feel the presence of God when...

I'm with other people.

I'm at camp (I really love camp).

I'm passionate about...

youth and family ministry, outdoor ministry, including those who are left out, helping the Church be what it is/we are called to be. And pizza.

In the future, I will be...

wondering where I'll be in the future.

My biggest struggle with discerning/following "my call" is...

wondering if and when and how and why I'll ever really know FOR SURE that I am where I am called to be (and trying to be OK with the fact that I may never).

A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...

a lot of people - Sunni Richardson, Joanne Richmond, Mike Carlson, my parents, many of the people I am privileged to serve as pastor.

Because of my faith, I...

can get out of bed.
