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.
The opinions you'll find here are mine alone. They do not necessarily express the views of my church, my Presbytery, my denomination, my family, my friends, or anyone else. The attempted humor you'll find here is definitely mine.
