In a recent trip to Italy with Renee, we had the opportunity to visit the Mamertino Prison. It is the reported location of the Roman imprisonment of the Apostles Paul and Peter (at different times).

Ugh and Neurotic
I first began writing a regular column for local newspapers when I pastored in Fairfield, ID. I wrote a weekly column in the Camas Courier for nearly three years. Camas county has a total population of just over 1,000 people, so the reader base was quite small. This was before the day of the internet.…

Known By Your Name
One thing I love about pastoring a church who loves children as much as they love making children is to hear the story behind why they name their children as they do. It is among the things that puts a smile on this pastors face. There is something we all have in common, a name…
