Glad you are here! I’m a church pastor living on the Iron Range in Northern Minnesota. I try to encourage people to purse living life W.E.L.L (Worshipping, Encouraging, Loving, Learning) because the Bible teaches that is a great way live. Here on this website I randomly post and share some of my messages, pics, articles and resources as I find time. Please go to the About Me page to read more about who I am and what I share. Don’t be surprised to see posts that range from “How to Grow Spiritually” to “How to Fix Rusty Rocker Panels.” Check out Categories or look at the Site Map to find things on this site. There is a Google Translate button to translate this site into 100+ languages toward the bottom of the page.
