About the Author

I was born in Seattle Washington at the age of zero. I graduated with a degree in education from Western Washington University but have spent the past 20 years of my life being educated by my two children. I tell them often "a good education is expensive." My greatest achievement is nothing I have done at all but what God has done for me. I am a follower of Christ and am currently serving him as a Pastor in East Wenatchee, WA. All other things about me are plain and mundane unless of course, you think star gazing, talking about football, and debating theology are awesome. In that case you would probably find my life quite exhilarating.
