Greetings

Welcome! Glad you found your way here. I'd like to be a cojourner with you on the way...the way of Christ, the way of discipleship. The 3-D dream catcher at the top of the page represents the moment in the life of a cell (in it's third division) when it becomes whatever it was uniquely created to be. I love being a part of those emergent moments in people's lives and in the lives of congregations.

Gloria and I have recently been appointed to Milford Hills United Methodist Church in Salisbury, NC where I will be serving as pastor. We look forward to abiding with this wonderful congregation of co-missioners.

I am available as a resource for disciple-making workshops, worship concerts, retreats and training events, and as a ministry consultant, designer, and coach. My wife Gloria and I also do retreats and worship experiences together. Click on the Services button in the top menu for more information. Some other helpful links are listed on the Resources page.

pgl_cover_final.jpg My latest book, The Porpoise Given Life is geting good reviews. You can order it from the publisher here . You'll get the best bookstore price on Amazon. You can order it from Cokesbury, too. You can get it for as little as $5 per book on my Resources page. It's great for gifts and for small groups.

There's an excerpt in my Blog. I'd really like to hear from you and get your feedback about it. If you want to leave a comment about Blog entries or any other part of the site please go to my Contact page and send me an email.

Our newest CD, Together, features some of the worship and group songs, like "I Will follow Jesus" and "J-E-S-U-S, Huh!," that Gloria and I do at events and retreats. Links are up on the Resources page so you can download songs or order the whole CD. Of course, you can order direct from me (just click here for ordering information).

My Hourglass CD is getting some attention on iTunes. It features nine of my original songs, plus two by Tom Lane and one by Gloria. Please go to my Resources page for ordering information. The words and chords to "Soak Up the Son", "Lo, I Am With You Always", "The Water" (a great song for Baptism and Baptism Renewal), and "Holy God on High" (for Communion and Love Feasts) are on my Blog with more to come soon. It looks like Hourglass speaks more to folks with a few years on them ;-).

Gloria and I recently designed a three-day adult event around the little book, Three Simple Rules by Reuben Job. We had a great time with the folks from Pinopolis (SC) United Methidist Church exploring ways to "do no harm," "do good," and "stay in love with God."
