I never planned to be a parish pastor but God had other plans.
I never planned to stay in one place very long, but Redeemer has been my life ministry.
I never planned to live in Texas (born in Oklahoma), but I have a beautiful Texan wife, children and grandchildren. I do have an Oklahoma dog but that is another story.
I have stopped planning and now totally enjoy God’s plan for me in ministry in beautiful Austin, Texas.
