I surrendered to the ministry of God in 1982, then backslid some years later. I returned to God's way in the earlier 2000s. My preaching is different because I glean from my experiences in farming, some ranching, carpentry and construction, private security and investigations, military service, and being a parent and grandfather. Though I have managed a business, I have learned more from having a small business. Thank God for His miracles providing safety throughout the years. Jesus Christ is Lord and King.
