I am an ordained minister and was an associate pastor of Winston Christian Church for about 5 years. My mother took ill and we went back to Yuma, AZ to help care for her. I started Oregon Grace with my great friend, Terry Shields, which is a Christian educational site to help promote college studies of the Bible and family education.
Terry Shields and I have composed several songs and have played together quite a bit. But now we have a long distance relationship which makes it more difficult to write music. But not impossible. When time permits (between giving my wife the attention she needs and deserves, work, ministry, etc.) I write new music and try to get it to Terry so he can work on his parts. It takes longer but it works. We both would love to just do music for Jesus all the time but we can't survive on desire alone. So, until God gets us to that point we will need to keep going this way.
As for me, I still am available for performances and ministries for those who enjoy good old fashion Southern and Country Gospel.
