Pages like this are tricky. I only have the things to hide from ner-do-wells, you know. Still, some facts about me to help you sort through this blog site:

1. I’m a pastor at an evangelical, Reformed, Presbyterian church: www.christcovenant.org.

2. I preach, teach and counsel the Word as often and in as many places as I am able.

3. I am a husband and father and enjoy the profound blessings of both those covenantal joys.

4. I love to play soccer and have my whole life (at least these days I’m playing through the memories of when I used to be all-dat!)

5. I traffic in the role of distinction-maker. In other words, I believe an inspected life is one worth living. But more than that, there are distinctions to make in life that enriches it. Our modern society might believe that the best life is one that has no mountains or valleys but simply flat; that our best-life-now is that we all get along and pretend. I do not agree (clearly!).

6. My idea of a good time is a late-Fall camp out along the App Trail.
