Last night I posted that my entry was not included in this week’s Christian Carnival.

I am the pastor of Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Florence, SC. I have been a Presbyterian Church (USA) pastor for over 20 years. I'm married, with no children - but 3 dogs! I enjoy meeting people, reading, blogging, watching sports, and fishing -- among other things.
