I am not going to take too much time here. I simply want to remind you that Memorial Day is here once again. A day when many celebrate the start of the summer. A time of picnics and barbeques. And there is nothing wrong with this, so enjoy your celebration.
But somewhere in the midst, stop and take time to think of those who paid the ultimate price to allow us to enjoy these blessings. Those who gave their lives for people they never knew.
So let us take a moment of silence to remember those we can never thank. And let us honor their sacrifice by remembering to thank those we still can, for their service.
I am a committed Christian who was blessed to grow up in a strong supportive family in rural Iowa. I have spent the last 23 years in the northwest Chicago suburbs where I live with my wife of 19 years, Kay, and our three children. We are actively involved in our church, scouting and community activities. I am a graduate of Trinity International University in 1992 (B.A. Youth Ministry) and of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1996 (MDiv Christian Education). I have worked in the field of Physical Security for over 20 years. I have been active in my church teaching and music for over 20 years and have been a guest speaker at churches since 2007. In addition, I serve as Chaplain for local Boy Scout troops. My passion is teaching others about God, helping them grow in their faith and encouraging their involvement in the local community. My area of specialty are public speaking, strategic planning, emergency management, community service, family ministry and youth ministry.
