I am a retired United Methodist Pastor and this is my website. Welcome. I served United Methodist Churches in Western Missouri from 1964 to 2000. I retired in 2000 and moved from Missouri to Louisiana to be close to my son and grandchildren. I have served as interim pastor at a couple of churches and still do guest preaching and revivals. I first moved to Plain Dealing, LA about 25 miles away from Shreveport. It was a big house and about 4 acres of land. In 2009 I decided to move into Shreveport to a smaller house and lot in order to be closer to my family and my doctors, etc. I purchased this 3 bedroon bungalow on Rutherford Street in Shreveport. My back gate goes out into Columbia Park (which I don't have to mow) My son, Rick, has a Prevost Entertainer/Limo Bus Motorcoach for sale -- Click here for more info -- Motorcoach For Sale This is part of my Library and computer room.
