My Journey – Moments of Grace
I am a husband of 38 years, father of 3, grandpa to 6, and have experienced enough “God moments” or “moments of Grace” in my life to start writing them down. I have nothing special in the faith arena; my wife has always been a much better example of a faith-filled person than I am myself. I am always grateful for that persistent positive support and belief.
I Believe
I have never been able to call up moments of Grace, or somehow conjure an angel to place themselves in my presence for me to learn from, but I have been positively amazed as a result of how these moments have happened when I am willing and open to the help and encouragement which I receive.
My Community
I see the human need for connection, and the blessing of making and having good connections in different cultures and locations all around the world. I believe that we are connected to people because we were meant to be. Some as a result of our families; other connections are from encounters which we have had the privilege to experience.
