Pastor Dave's Doodles: Good Quote

Good Quote

I attended the AVDS Conference in Hesston, Kansas this weekend. I heard this quote:
"You can't really know or experience God's forgiveness until you offer it to someone else".

Let that sink in for awhile...

About Me

For most of my life I wanted to be a millionaire by the age of 40. 1 Timothy 6:9-10 says, "But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

This was my life prior to experiencing God's grace and forgiveness. I would say I had a "Damascus Road" experience in October of 2002 and knew God was calling me to pastoral ministry. At the age of 40, I graduated from the Pastoral Ministry program at Hesston College (watch video below) and have been the pastor of Bellwood Mennonite Church since August 2007. My wife Tammy is a prayer warrior and my best friend. She understands me. We have two children, Spencer (a sophomore at Hesston College) & Hallie (a sophomore at Milford High School) ...and a Boston Terrier named Rascal.

I love playing guitar and mandolin, listening to Bluegrass music and riding my motorcycle ('93 Honda Shadow 1100cc).
