Open Mind
I've written a religion column for the Southeast Missourian for seven years. I am executive director of the Chateau Girardeau Foundation. I am a retired United Methodist pastor with more than 20 years service to churches in Missouri. I teach part-time in religious studies at Southeast Missouri State University. I am married to my college sweetheart, Lois (Ford) Long, a realtor with Realty Executives, and we have two teenaged daughters, Emily and Rachael. Lois and I are natives of western Pennsylvania. This blog will focus on senior and religious issues.
