NEW: I have changed my mind. I have decided to continue the web site for the indefinite future. However, I am going to discontinue the Thought for the Week. I will replace it with a page that will contain new things that I have written, but don't expect them on a weekly basis. I will notify you on the home page when there is something new. Those items will remain there until the next new item. At all times, I do put everything in a permanent location on the web site, so that everything is always available. I hope you understand. This new policy will free me from having to meet a deadline. I thank all of my readers for their support during these many years. I have enjoyed sharing my feeble efforts with all of you.

NEW: A Beautiful 3-minute video, The Porcelain Unicorn

NEW: A paper entitled, An Evolving Conception of God - a personal statement.

NEW: A page of Links to Peace Oriented Web Sites



My Hobby is Genealogy; I Collect Ancestors

Family Tree You will find lots of genealogical information. All my research results are posted on my Family History Page . If you find any ancestors you can use, please help yourself. If you have any ancestors you think I might be able to use, you might want to drop them in my mailbox.

My Calling is Teaching; I Create Lessons

Teacher Among the many things I have taught over the years, none have been more popular than my course in beginning computer use. I have developed a set of five lessons on the use of Windows 95/98/ME/XP. They are available for your use. You will find them as well as other useful computer imformation and links on my Computer Page .

My Passion is Music and Poetry; I Write Both.

Song Writer Since retiring from teaching, I have written a number of hymn texts. I have also composed the music for some of them. The texts are available for your perusal, and the MIDI files for your listening pleasure. You can also print out the complete scores for all of them. Please ask for my permission to copy in quantities. The hymns along with some poems that I wrote can be found on my Hymns and Poems Page.

My Gift is Words; I Write Thoughts

Lecturer Each week I post a new thought that might include a poem, prayer, tribute, or comment on the page I call "Thought for the Week." It is avilable on my Thought Page. Most of the thoughts for the past several years are archived and indexed by categories. They can be accessed from the Archives Page. I have also written some other things that can be found on My Writings Page.
