I'm a follower of Jesus Christ and seek to live my life to please Him and for His glory.  I'm walking
this journey with my life's partner, Diann.  We've been married since 1972 and have two grown children.  Our daughter Julie serves as a missionary with her husband Victor in Mexcio in a ministry they founded called Fishers of Men. Check their ministry out at www.fishersofmenmexico.org.  You can view a one minute video of their children.  Just click here.  Our son Dan is married to Teri and he's a detective in a police department in a suburb of Indianaplolis.

I have pastored the Mayfair-Plymouth Congregational Church of Toledo, Ohio since 1975, having just celebrated 32 years at the church.  You can check out the church at http://www.mayfairplymouth.org/. You can also visit me at my blog, where I add material about every other day or so.

I enjoy photography, that's why I'm treating you with a different photo of mine each week on the web site.  I also have a number of photos for sale at www.istockphoto.com.

I'm also a ventriloquist, of sorts, and treat the children of my church with a "visit with Ricky" every third Sunday of the month in the morning worship services.

Raising bantam chicken is another of my hobbies.  I currently have 20 in my coop out back.  I even hatch them from eggs in my incubator!

That's just a little bit about me.  Thanks for visiting my web site.  God bless you!
