“All human beings are God’s handiwork. Each person is a very precious work of divine art. To make light of an artist’s work within the artist’s earshot is a cruel thing to do. To demean one of God’s most precious artworks when God is listening–and he always is–crudely dishonors the divine artist.”
Richard Mouw, Uncommon Decency: Christin Civility in an Uncivil World. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2010, page 46.
I am a pastor, a husband, and father. A small, town about twenty miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I do some carving in wood and small stones. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I've recently taken up fishing for the first time since I was a kid. I'm blessed in that regard to have a very nice trout stream flowing right past my church.
