He attended Christian school, learned Bible and church history and headed off to college after the summer of Woodstock. He didn’t catch that event but that culture caught him, brought him down, and caused him to cry out to God. The Lord arranged people and circumstances to bring him to the knowledge of Jesus Christ in May of 1974 as he sat in an office cubicle. Influenced by many streams among the Lord’s servants, he learned to listen to the Shepherd’s voice and follow. He has been writing for years including a blog at www.therichesofchrist.com. He has contributed to the Whirlwind of Hope website, and to the MorningStar Journal. He is also published in the field of environmental and energy issues, having worked in industrial air pollution control for over 40 years.view less
