HELLO
HELLO
I am a Fan of the Star Wars verse of stories because of it's spiritual themes and the cool special effects.
I am a Jedi who discovered an affinity with the great masters of old and who admires their noble composure and actions.
I am a Padawan learner because I am not yet trained in the depths of Star Wars canon and legends knowledge.
And as a Clergy I follow and preach the Jedi creed of seeking balance in the universe by pursuing freedom, justice and peace.
I am definitely on the light side and I support the rebel cause.
The Jedi Code
The Jedi Code
There is no emotion, there is PEACE.
There is no ignorance, there is KNOWLEDGE.
There is no passion, there is SERENITY.
There is no chaos, there is HARMONY.
There is no death, there is THE FORCE.
The Jedi symbol represents justice and peace with the light of a star and wings of a bird.

“Star Wars is made up of many themes. This is a world where evil has run amuck. But you have control over your destiny, you have many paths to walk down, and you can choose which destiny is going to be yours.”

I fulfilled one of the items on my "bucket" list when I was able to visit Disney's theme park in Orlando, FL, summer of 2025.
It was a magical and epic experience to walk through Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batu as Cal Kestis together with a friend.
I got to meet famous Star Wars characters, join the Resistance, and even pilot the Millennium Falcon.
We also enjoyed tasty snacks and unique drinks, acquired gear, and made a new alien friend who stayed with me.
Star Wars Identities
Star Wars Identities
During a trip to Munich, Germany, I was able to attend an exhibit based on the Star Wars saga.
Identities explored how each of our lives are shaped by a variety of influencing factors just like the characters in the Star Wars movies.
On display were also art designs, props, and costumes from the original original sets.

When I first watched Return of the Jedi I did not really become a fan of Star Wars. But I got really excited when the saga was going to come to a close with the start of the Sequels after almost five decades in 2019.
To celebrate the occasion of the Episode IX release I invited my church to participate in a couple of community events and to use Star Wars as a theme. It was the beginning of my fandom.
It started with a Halloween Youth Group activity. Members of my church entered in the town Christmas Parade. And then I led a special Star Wars Advent Service as Obi-Wan.
Taking on the persona of one of the great Jedi Masters is what made me want to keep immersing myself in the world of Star Wars stories, toys and activities.

During the Covid-19 pandemic I used my Prius Shuttle in Hillsboro's Old Settler's parade to encourage vaccinations for saving the Galaxy from the virus.
Star Wars and Christian Spirituality
Star Wars and Christian Spirituality
Star Wars borrows and uses universal themes from a variety of cultures. Connections can be made to my Christian faith which also holds out hope for victory of good over evil.
In conjunction with the opening of Star Wars Episode VII in theaters in 2019, I led a Worship Service in my congregation to show connections between George Lucas' movies and Christian Spirituality.
We had live Star Wars music, themed prayers, humorous and insightful references, a special message by a Jedi Clergy, costumed fans, decorations, droids and a rebel converted shuttle.
"Jesus is greater than any Jedi, because he alone came to save the whole universe by overcoming the dark side."
"Jesus is greater than any Jedi, because he alone came to save the whole universe by overcoming the dark side."

With encouragement from my Star Wars fan administrative assistant I wrote and co-directed a Christmas Program at my church in which the story of Christ's birth was told through characters in, you guessed it, Star Wars.
Star Wars fans recall the Christmas story.
