God’s Sense of Humor.

I was taught that God will pardon my sins. I’m also hoping God has a good sense of humor.

There is a thin line between stupid and fearless, sometimes.

The crash of glass was heard as I tried to make it through the door.

The security guard at St Francis Hospital challenged dad to prove he was a minister.

Dad had a drinking problem that caused shame, anger, and embarrassment as a minister.

Dad bought Spumoni ice cream which, as a child, I decided was torture.

I went at the other boy like a spider monkey on a sugar high, but Dad had a different idea.

I snuck away from a church picnic to slide down the spillway at the lake and nearly killed myself in the process.

Playing firefighter in the parsonage got too real when my plan went awry.
