The amazing power of best-friendship

It seems to be part of the universal human experience that we go through times when our life is mundane, dry, unfruitful, unfulfilling, and feels like a waste. I know I have times like that.

Maintaining sanity in the midst of insanity

We humans cannot live a life of sanity if we are untethered from anything solid and unchangeable. Imagine if you weren’t confident that tomorrow morning the sun would rise.

My story in brief…

Christ first came into my life at the age of 5 during a series of evangelistic meetings in our tiny country Quaker church house in Gate, Oklahoma. Since then it has been a process of “Stumbling forward by grace, through faith in Christ.” I experienced a significant personal revival at the age of 19 and have been much in love with the Lord ever since…five decades-plus.

My passion is to enjoy the Lord by encouraging others to make progress in their lives…living life successfully. I do that primarily through my disciple-making efforts and through my writing.

I spent about 20 years in public ministry and at the age of 40 decided that I had allowed my passion for ministry to impede my prior duty to my family, so I stepped aside. I found a new career as a financial advisor from which I am now retired.

Now I am able to enjoy my family and pursue ministry opportunities as the Lord opens them to me. I now serve as an Elder with Convergence Church-OKC.
