About the Author

I served as an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) from 1976 through 2007, when I retired. In the practice of my ministry, I began to place meditations, called For Your Quiet Meditation, in the weekly bulletins on Palm Sunday, April 14,1981. I have continued to write them ever since, using them as originally designed whenever I was serving a congregation. At other times, I would write them, and I continue to write them, as exercises in devotional writing mainly because I find them satisfying to write.

I now live in retirement in central Illinois with my wife of fifty-six years, three dogs and several cats.
