I’m an ordained minister within the Reformed Church of America, for over 40 years. I’ve served as a pastor and chaplain during that time in New Jersey, as well as Southern California. I have a passion for helping people find their calling in life, as well as their divine purpose. I enjoy getting to know and appreciate the uniqueness of each & every individual person, and allowing them to share their story.

“Trees” by Joyce Kilmer

“I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear 

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.”
