Hello,
My name is Doug, aka, TibiasDad. I am a sixty-year-old pastor in the Church of the Nazarene. I have been a Christian since I was 17, after being raised in the church my whole life. I have been married for 39 years, and have one son.
I have been on staff of my church for 13 years, and my area of ministry is working with senior adults. Prior to the arrival of Covid-19, I held weekly church services and Bible studies at five Assisted Living facilities in our county, averaging around 65-70 per week in attendance. Corona has dethroned much of that activity, though I still have a weekly church service via Zoom at one facility and a couple of months ago was able to resume an outdoor Bible study, so for this I am thankful.
My hobbies are music (I play piano and sing, compose and write lyrics) and writing (I've published two Christian novels and one non-fiction biblical study book). I have typically enjoyed baseball and football, and am a life long, die-hard Ohio State and Cincinnati Reds and Bengals fan! (Which means I understand the concept of perseverance especially well.) My two other hobbies are reading and trying to answer all things unanswerable, which is why I've come to be a part of ChristianForums.net, at the personal invitation of JBL. (Yes, you may hold this over his head if necessary! ;) )
Looking forward to getting to know you,
Doug
