D.B. is a father of two, a Special Education teacher, a counseling graduate student, and a minister of the Gospel of Christ. He teaches, he preaches, he leads songs, he goes to hospitals and nursing homes, and he makes house calls – lots of house calls! D.B. has a heart for ministry; he simply loves God and loves people.
D.B. is genuine. He is what most of us would call the “real deal.” There is no pretense about him. In a word, D.B. is SINCERE – which helps to explain why many people find him easy to talk to, easy to listen to and easy to follow.
“An often repeated folk etymology proposes that sincere is derived from the Latin sine = without, cera = wax. According to one popular explanation, dishonest sculptors in Rome or Greece would cover flaws in their work with wax to deceive the viewer; therefore, a sculpture “without wax” would mean honesty in its perfection.” (Hartford Courant)
There is some controversy whether the above study of word origins is actually true or not. I can’t say. But what I can say is this: D. B. is definitely honest; and without a doubt, D.B. is “without wax.”
For the past few years, Derrick Busch has been hired to shore up our church staff needs during the summers. Derrick has done an outstanding job again this year, and as a staff, we look forward to more “without wax” summers ahead! God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
