Get to know Pastor Ron...
Where did you grow up? As a post WWII baby we moved a lot - Iowa, Wisconsin, a stint in Maine and wound up in Southern California for Jr. High and High School.
Fondest memory of growing up there? Iowa - I liked the farm life and small town atmosphere. There was lots of family and fond memories of swimming in the coal pit, picking beans and corn, grand family meals with lots of cousins and friends.
Favorite aspect of living in Grants Pass? Some family had moved to Grants Pass by the time I graduated High School. I worked with my uncle and helped build Howard Prairie Resort in the early 60's - fishing, the outdoors and small town feel brought us to live here and raise our family.
Favorite Scripture and why? Proverbs 3:5-6. Experience has taught me that no matter what life brings us, God is my source, focus and the One I trust.
What 5 ingredients would go into your “best day”? My best days are when our family is all together, children and grand-children; the boys go fishing, the girls go shopping, the kids don't fight and we all gather around the table sharing memories and life together. Back in the day that was a regular day, today it is an event for most of us.
Your current, favorite worship song? Too many to have a favorite, but for the most part I still like the now "old" Brownsville and Hillsongs.
