Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7

As I round the corner on over twenty three years of nursing home ministry I have now decades of precious memories of hundreds of people whom God has given me the privilege to serve. I have preached to them my best sermons, sung to them my best songs and shared with them my most intimate feelings and yet can say without hesitation that I have received far more than I have given.

I have learned that a loving heart far outlasts a sharp mind.

I have discovered that vision far exceeds eyesight

I have entered into friendships that outlast personal failures

Together we have learned that God is faithful to remember us

That our names are written in His palms

That His greatest gift is often only clearly…
