I'm a lot of things. I'm a father and a husband--who's always trying to figure out how to be a better father and a better husband. I'm a reasonably attentive son, and a questionably worthwhile brother. I'm also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, which probably explains everything above.

I used to be a high school teacher--a college instructor, a salesperson, a forklift operator, a carpentry laborer, a chaplain, a grill cook, an IT person--and a lot of other things. Now I'm a Pastor at a small Moravian Church in Dublin, Ohio.

Some people say that I'm deeply spiritual; others say I'm "down to earth." I like to think that after many, many years of hating myself, I've finally found a way to be comfortable with who I am, and whose I am. And it takes God's help for me to keep that perspective!

If you're into power-crazy, in-your-face, you're-going-to-Hell Christianity, you probably won't like me. But if you're looking for thought-provoking ways that the Word of God can touch your life, I invite you to check out my blog and podcasts! Blessings! (http://www.xanga.com/pastor_lance)
