HIS MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE: “Being with a man dying of brain cancer. I brought him Communion daily for many months and witnessed his faith in Jesus as he surrendered himself to Jesus. He died a very peaceful death.”
HIS GREATEST CHALLENGE: “Preparing a meaningful homily is very important to me. In addition I never want to cause someone to lose their faith by what I do in my life either as a deacon or how I lead my life.”
FAVORITE SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 15: 16 — “When I found your words, I devoured them; your words were my joy, the happiness of my heart, Because I bear your name Lord, God of hosts.”
