Thoughts From The Deck
So this is my first blog entry. I hope all of you who asked me to do this find my Thoughts From The Deck to be encouraging, heartfelt, and thought provoking.
Here is my promise for this blog.
On this Blog I will write only what comes to me during my Quiet / Contemplative / Prayer time. I spend a lot of that time on the deck of my home in Half Moon Bay, California. I am a block from the Pacific Ocean. When traveling, I spend it wherever I can find a quiet place. Although I have been known to find a place in a Coffee Shop from time to time.
On this Blog I will stay away from doctrines, dogmas, and other religious things. Sometimes there may be a place to have a doctrinal conversation, but I hope to avoid those conversations for the sake of this blog.
My hope is that this Blog will ultimately encourage you to find your place of daily communion with God.
About me.
I am a father of four wonderful children.
I am the husband of my closest friend.
I am a four sports coach; Basketball, Softball, Baseball, & Football.
I am a life coach, helping people find their purpose and passion.
I am an Entrepreneur.
I am Lead Pastor of Coastlands Church, HMB. We are a house church.
I am a Liberal Fundamentalist Christian.
I hold these four Truths as my Foundation for Life;
God Created the Heavens and the Earth.
Jesus is the Son of God and died for the Sins of the World.
God Raised Jesus from the dead.
Eternal Life is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ’s death and Resurrection.
Those are my Fundamental beliefs, all other conversation pails from there.
I am a lover of all people, and find myself most critical of the Church. That is because I am most critical of myself.
So Welcome to Thoughts From The Deck
Your friend
