Well, my friends….today is already a glorious day and its only 6:30 am! I just walked into the house from my morning walk(s); first through beautiful Laurel Park with Glenn (a handsome golden retriever/chow mix) and Cliff (an adorable, ornery sheltie); then a longer excursion through our neighborhood with the love and joy of my life, Miss Pam (my wife). That is the entire Presgrave family and I thank God each day for blessing me so richly. But today is uniquely different in another way; it is 69 degrees right now IN ST. LOUIS on JULY 29, 2013. Wow! That indeed is a treat!!
But as I sit down in front of my computer with a fresh cup of hot coffee, I am well aware that the new activity that really makes this a special day is me preparing to write my first blog. I am really looking forward to these postings each Monday because I love sharing messages that are positive, up-lifting and encouraging. Today I am able to share messages of that nature, but that was not always the case (as you will see if you peruse my website, www.meetpastordan.com). Because of the journey I have been on for the past decade and my willingness to embrace change, I have been blessed today with a life that is happy, joyous and free. Since I have been given a “second chance at life”, I CANNOT help but share the good news I have learned about me and about life with anyone who wants to hear it. That’s the way it works….we get fixed then we reach out to help others.
Today my focus, and the focus of this website, is about enhancing the quality of people’s lives. I am both thrilled and privileged to be a “hope dealer.” As the psalmist David proclaimed in Psalm 92, vs.4 “you thrill me Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done for me” The truth is….that freedom and joy is available to anyone who has the courage to “go for it”!
If there is anything that is keeping you from living life to the fullest….take the plunge!
I’m already looking forward to next Monday when I can post my next blog!!
God bless ya,

Very impressive, my friend! Having been along for most of your ride in this life, I know what a labor of love this has been. Good luck in this new endeavor and God bless you.
Dan,
Awesome site and great message, as usual! I know from experience the ability God has given you to reach into those dark places and bring light. I hope people take advantage of your offering, they will be blessed.
Congratulations and more power to the Lord we serve as you have one audacious website, Dan! We love you anyway and so appreciate how you continue to give yourself away. Please let Catherine know the details of how this website was put together–she’d like to make one as beautiful so we can honor our Lord as well as you do with our musical endeavors and ministry…..
