Autor

Chuck Warnock likes the rhythm of his life. His day begins about sunrise each morning with his wife, Debbie and their rescue cat, Buddy. After a hearty bowl of oatmeal - for Buddy, cat chow -- Chuck and Debbie spend the first moments of the day with an inspirational meditation, while Buddy snoozes in his lap of choice.Chuck is reluctantly retired because his heart tried to kill him, not once, but twice. However, they are now on speaking terms, having realized they really do need to work together. Both have made promises to do so going forward, and so far, so good. Previously, Chuck enjoyed serving congregations across the southeast as pastor. In addition to speaking at churches, conferences, and conventions over the years, writing became his way to engage with new folks and contribute to a wider faith conversation. Now Chuck has what he has always wanted -- more time to write. He posts to his website regularly, and several new projects call him to the keyboard daily.Chuck's Baptist heritage is tempered with a chronic ecumenical curiosity. He recites The Apostles' Creed, follows the Christian Year, and once spent a week at a Trappist monastery. He wishes he had said this, but St. Augustine, or someone, gets the credit: In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.
