Welcome! I appreciate your virtual visit! Here’s what little you might want to know about me.
First, by the grace of God, I am both husband and daddy, with two young children at home.
By quirk of personality, I am one who loves words.
By vocation I am a pastor, an ordained “elder” within The United Methodist Church, in ministry with the people of Song of Life United Methodist Church in Queen Creek, Arizona. Prior to returning to Arizona with this appointment, I also served 3 appointments (5 churches) in central Illinois.
I started “Word Heart” to share thoughts about the nature of the “heart” as used in Hebrew (lev) and Christian (kardia) Scripture. In particular, my goal was to further explore and write about my personal desire to live out what Christ describes as “purity of heart”…
I also share about my own love for Scripture (the Word), and my journey to have that Word take root and grow in my heart; about my love for words – literature, definitions; and also about my own spiritual journey as a disciple of Jesus Christ and leader in The United Methodist Church.
(For anyone interested, you can access my weekly sermons in iTunes (search for “Song of Life UMC Sermon”) or at our webpage.)
Enjoy the blog, share your comments & thoughts, and God bless you in your own journey!
-Ron
