Three Times The Charm: musings, practical theology, and questions from another foray into the internet world for this Unitarian Universalist minister.
I’ve started a new ministry with two other Unitarian Universalist colleagues, the Rev. Lori Hlaban and the Rev. Elizabeth Marsh. It is a professional network on a website—- serving individuals who want to have commitment ceremonies or weddings. Our website is:

I’ve had a lot of requests for my sermons lately, so I will attempt to be more consistent about posting them regularly. Don’t be surprised if you find the same themes and concepts running through them—the same ideas often run through my head with new stories attached over and over. Enjoy! We’re working on podcasting next.
Welcome to my Webpage.
I’ve just begun posting information, so please stay tuned for more.
