Hello one and all!! Let me first introduce myself. My name is Daniel and I am the son of a preacher man. I earned that title in 1978 when I was 9 years old when my Dad decided to leave the friendly confines of La Puente, California to join the ministry and become a pastor in the coastal town of Oxnard, California. If you asked me then how I felt about leaving La Puente for Oxnard I would have said this is the worst decision ever. As the saying goes hindsight is 20/20. It didn't take very long to acclimate to Oxnard and I now can't even imagine what life would have been like had we stayed in La Puente. My Dad made the right call not just for himself but for his family as well. Thanks to my father and to God almighty.
Let's fast forward for now to 2016. I am a husband, a father of 2 kids, employed full time and a musician and I have many hobbies which I will mention along the way. I have been inspired by my daughter and several friends to start a new blog where I can share my thoughts about my life as a PK and other pearls of wisdom as well. I will not be political nor controversial. However I will make every attempt to make you laugh and smile as I'm not the kind of guy that likes to stay serious for too long. Life as a PK (pastor's kid for those who do not know the acronym) had its ups and downs. I will in time share both good and bad but the ultimate goal besides making you laugh is to encourage. For now, this is just an introduction. I look forward to hearing your feedback as you all join me on my blog journey. God bless.
Sincerely,
D.Z.
