Welcome everyone!  

Hello there, Pastor Steve Peterson here.  
And welcome to my comfy little corner of the web, kind of like my own little digital library.  Pastor's Playlist!  
Take a moment to browse around and see if you find anything you like.  And if you do find something you like, give me a call and let me know your thoughts.
I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else
