Mad About Me
I'm Eric, the Mad Pastor. You know mad like cuckoo, crazy, nutty. Like a mad scientist. Only I don't know anything about science. It really ruined my GPA in high school.
I used to pastor a church in the Chicago area. Now I'm moving back to California to serve a new church (well, new for me anyway). I'm married. I do wood working, I write sermons, baptize people, perform weddings, funerals, and whatever else ministry requires. I seem to move a lot of chairs. huh. go figure. Favorites
