Hi!  Thanks for stopping by my website.  I'm a writer, photographer, retreat leader, and Quaker minister.  I've written and co-written many books including:

• New!! Finding God in the Verbs: Crafting a Fresh Language of Prayer
• Awaken Your Senses: Excercises for Exploring the Wonder of God
  
• Sacred Compass: The Way of Spiritual Discernment 
• Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality
• Mind the Light:  Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes
• Holy Places: Matching Sacred Space with Mission and Message
• Imagination and Spirit: A Contemporary Quaker Reader

… in addition to more than 100 short stories and non-fiction articles.  I am also the author of the popular blog  HolyOrdinary.

I graduated from Wilmington College and the Earlham School of Religion.  I've worked as a local church pastor, denominational executive, seminary faculty member, and go-cart track operator.

I live on Ploughshares Farm, which is fifty acres of Indiana farmland that is being reclaimed for native hardwood forests and warm season prairie grasses.
