Personal Interests

​I enjoy travel, whether it's exploring nearby parks or journeying to lands afar. I also like to go speedwalking regularly in my local woods and take nature photos for fun.

​​Most of my recreation these days involves my family:  reading, cooking, playing games... going to plays and movies... camping, biking or playing ping pong. We have fun together.

​I enjoy music and poetry, both personally and professionally. Visual arts like collage and glass mosaic are a creative outlet as well.​ Here's a collage I did before seminary, expressing my sense of calling to the ministry, and more recently, my first glass project.

hearing your inner wisdom
is strengthened ​by doing it.  ​~ Robbie Gass

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.  ~ Edward Hopper​

Play is the exultation of the possible.  ​~ Martin Buber
