Hello there. If you got this far, you are on a real journey. As for myself, I am a happy person, who affirms other people. People say I work too hard. I enjoy developing and creating, writing, and seeing ahead. I am strong on intuition. Don't ask me how I know what I know, but I usually am able to discern feelings, and perceive structure and behavioral projections.

People say I am good at crisis intervention, conflict management, and pastoral relationships. I enjoy studying the Bible, and putting complex inter related material into an understandable framework that can be discerned and discovered.

I am serving St. John's through the formula of agreement that exists with the participating denominations of the Reformed heritage. I hold dual standing in the UCC and ELCA, Northwest Ohio Synod, where I am chair of the Board for Church in Society. http://quillz.us/cis

I have a website hobby to help churches develop web presence. http://www.quillz.us
