I am a lifelong student of the Bible, and have been a pastor for over twenty-five years. My desire through this blog is to help people see things in the intersection of Scripture and real life that they might have missed.

I hope to treat Scripture with the respect it deserves, and, even if you don't agree with what I say, give you some insight.
