Staatenlos

While I must leave preaching to the preachers, I wouldn’t be able to share my journey without addressing what directs my spirit. I confess to being a sinner saved by grace. I have been at my present church for more than half of my life where I raised my children.

Those persons other than my parents and my pastor who have strongly influenced my personal theology are St. Therese de Lisieux, Corrie Ten Boom, Oswald Chambers & Soren Kierkegaard. Each day begins with tending to the Kierkegaarden & sending out a Daily Bloom to my list members. Then Fr. Bob leads me to St. Therese’s Little Way. Corrie & Oswald have been close companions over some pretty long & bumpy roads.

I also identify closely with Francis Thompson as depicted in his poem: The Hound of Heaven .
