"Hi, Patty. Thanks for the kind note. I lived in Wyoming a few years and noticed that most of the dumpsters had padlocks. The problem was that people travelling through or people who just didn't feel like paying the public disposal fee were in the…"

"HI, Michael. I did get your "hi there", but I'm not entirely literate when it comes to all this email/blog stuff. I can't even figure out how to read your
profile. So how the hell are you? You're on Long Island? I lived ther for
about 6 months.…"

"Your project sounds wonderful. When and where are you presenting it? I can't be sure--maybe I can come listen.

So glad to hear you still enjoy "Timothy". Anmother possibility on

Sue Pierce left a comment for Paddy Heron

"HI, Paddy. Read your "Nephilim" book and enjoyed it. Of course, we
don't agree on every point, but I thought your research, thesis and writing were well done. A point of difference, I suppose, is the question of whether we think of the Nephilim as…"

"Jewel--Sorry, but I don't get many chances at email. Do you remember the story you told in CA about a "boil on my butt"?

About Me

Since 1985, I've travelled around the US in a camper listening to questions ordinary people had about PFAL, The Way, VPW and Cris Geer. After a couple years of that, I began to realize I was being asked to read and evaluate books at a rate beyond my limits. I was pushing age 40 with no income, no insurance, no nothin'. On a trip through Idaho, I had a Damascus Road experience. The Lord called me to be a voice to this nation and to other nations, bringing a messege of peace and healing. I realized that I didn't know how to speak to anyone but Way people. I needed a standard, theological vocabulary so I sold the camper and enrolled in Denver (Conservative Baptist) Seminary. Learned a bunch from Dr. Bruce Damerest, who earned his Ph. D. in England under F.F. Bruce. Unfortunately, by the fifth term in the Master of Divinity track, I realized that the school believed that a woman who preaches is a disgrace to her husband or, if she's not married, a disgrace to her father. So, I transferred to The Iliff School of Theology in Denver. I actually found three faculty who believed in the God of the Bible, and two who believed that once upon a time a man named Jesus, Son of God, lived on earth. I finished the M. Div. (master of divinity) degree at Iliff (a United Methodist Seminary) and won the preaching prize there. I had been invited to preach there before I was a student and was invited after graduation--but never as a student. I've always thought that winning the preaching prize was evidence that a good preacher knows when to keep his mouth shut. Over the next several years, I became ordained a Methodist minister and am now serving a 5th local congregation. In 2005, I was board, so went to study at University of Oxford's "Summer Programme in Theology". It was difficult, and more fun than I'd had in a very long time. I went again in 2006, enrolled in their Doctor of Ministry track through the Summer Programme, and have finished the academic work. Now, I'm just finishing my exit project. The Title of my D. Min. project is: "Manifesatations of Holy Spirit: Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, and Speaking in Tongues." My hope is to offer some definitions for these things that actualy make sense. Recieved the Doctor of Ministry in Applied Ministries in May, 2008 from the Graduate Theological Foundation in Indiana, which is afiliated with The Vatican and Oxford. Liked Oxford and stirred up a few classes there. Haven't been to The Vatican yet, but both Pope J2P2 and this new guy get on my nerves, so who knows--might stop by sometime and spread the joy.

My Interests

Occasionally, I play golf. My dominating interest the past few years has been finishing the D. Min. degree. I've had occasion to do some travelling the past dozen or so years: studied the great medieval cathedral at Chartre, France; summer studies at Oxford; a driving trip through Scotland; and a family visit to Denmark. Met some very nice people with all kinds of questions about faith, meaning, and God.

Employment or Career

1985-1990 Lived in a truck. 1990 - 1993 Went back to School 1993 - Present United Methodist Minister 2009 - Doctor of Ministry Official Title: The Reverand Doctor, but my friends just call me "The".

Music I Like

I sing with a 35 voice "long-hair" chorale in Denver and enjoy it. We do classical religious and folk songs from around the world in the original languages.

Books I Like

I love mysteries. Usually read through one writer's publications on a run, then switch to the next guy. This past month or two I've been reading about what a chucklehead theology Mormonism is... Fawn Brodie "No Man Knows My History" ; Jon Krakauer "Under the Banner of Heaven" ; and two by Michael Quinn about Mormon Hierarchy.

Television I like

History Channell Science Channell Discovery Channell Fox News CNN News

Movies I like

"Sling Blade" Don't much like chick-flicks. As a minister of peace all day, I like to go home at night and relax with a glass of wine and lots of explosions.

Sports Teams I like

I saw some Danish hand ball and I liked it. I'm also a curling fan. College and US National sports have lost interest to me. Too much money, too many drugs, too many commercials, not enough actual sportsmanship. Boring.

Hi again, Sue. The AAR meetings (where I'll present my paper) are at Denver Seminary the last weekend in March. My session is at about 10:00 in the morning on Saturday the 29th (room 102, session: Tradition and Theology). I'll be in touch by phone. Hope to connect with you one way or another.
Marian (Zick) Grant, 8th Corps January 18, 2008 at 7:49am

Hi Sue,
I don't know if you remember me from Colorado. I was a believer there and went to Gib and Chris McCain's fellowship & somehow or another, I was invited to a wedding of a really nice believer couple, up to a beautiful cabin in the mountains of yours, (on a beaver pond) and I know you were there, and I will never forget that weekend. We stayed at a cow camp! I know you and Lynn were really good friends, its all a blur now, but I remember you were a very very special person and by the sounds of it, you still are serving the Lord which is wonderful and I am also in my own way, by bringing people to my church and being an ambassador for Christ, not ashamed of the gospel.
In Christ & all the best to you!

Hey Sue, Haven't seen you since a gazillion years ago here in Richmond. Have thought of you through the years, and am glad you're doing so well. Would love to catch up. Drop me a line when you can, mm
Sara Maynard December 3, 2007 at 3:43pm

Hello Sue,
I don't think you know me, but I read what you said about being a Methodist minister. Do you know about the "Walk to Emmaus", which is connected with (but not limited to) the Methodist Church? You may know about this, but if not I'd highly recommend you check it out because I believe it would bless many ex-Way folks. I went on a "Walk" in the spring of 2003, and have remained connected with the Christians I met there ever since. It's quite something! Here's the website: http://www.upperroom.org/emmaus God bless you!

Sue -- I have a whole "silly" song collection, so many of which are courtesy of you. I still like to sing "My sweetheart's a mule in the mine, I drive her without any line. On the buckboard I sit, I chew and I spit, all over my sweetheart's behind." I hope that got a chuckle out of you and some fond memories. I always loved your lack of religiousness and am thankful you helped impart that to me. I am impressed with your theological school background and your Methodist ministry. My husband and I have been enjoying church hopping lately. There are certainly vast and varied ways that God works. Of one thing I am certain -- God is not introverted. He loves to be out with His people. Take care and you will be in my prayers.

Dear Sue,
You may not remember me, I was in AV from the 10th corps then the 11th corps.

I wanted to let you know that I "digitized" your Timothy recording from the LP. There are a few snap crackle and pops, but most of it is cleaned up.

If you would like, I would be blessed to send you a copy.
I listened to it again last night on a road trip and was very blessed by the songs.
For anyone that appreciates a folk style with beautiful harmonies it is a great blessing to hear.
