Through the years

The Board of Ordained Ministry is asking for me to send them some pictures: one, from my very early ministry; one, from a high point in ministry along the way; and one, a more-or-less current head shot. So, here they are, or at least, what I could find.


Up against the wall

Early ministry
This shows me and Deanne at Easter, 1976, I believe. I was completing my first year in seminary, and I would be appointed as a student pastor that summer.


Hail, hail, the gang's all here!

Standing with the rest of our happy Crew atop Mt. Phillips. I'm on the far right.

Recent head shot
This is me teaching God and Me with 1st-3rd graders a couple years ago. It's not too bad a likeness.
