'THE PASTORS'SHIP HOMEPORT'
At The Docks, Shoreleave
Welcome to the 'PASTORS'SHIP HOMEPORT'. We are in port at this time to re-provision and retrain for future missions.
The 'PASTORS'SHIP' is a time-traveling research vessel. It sails to foreign places and different times to investigate and research the Biblical History of Humanity with the help of Archeological Discoveries.
There is a DONATIONS PAGE on MENU that sends you to my GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN.
Then, next to MENU, you will find the MISSIONS PAGE. This will discuss and identify our MISSIONS.
First Mate Hayes
Hello, I am Dwight, First Mate and Researcher Writer/Author on the 'PASTORS'SHIP'.
I am also a Minimalist Survivor by lifestyle and Mission. Making a transition from building and maintaining window cleaning routes. Because many of my client properties went bankrupt in the recession, looting, and pandemic period. Supplementing my income by delivery driving part-time, for Doordash Grubhub and Instacart during a pandemic.
I am now retired from my previous jobs and I draw Social Security retirement and SSI because so far I haven't fully recovered from back and hip injuries leaving me with degenerative disk disease in my back and the osteoarthritis that goes along with my age of 66.
I am presently studying to be a Creative Digital Nomad. And finding my niche in the online industry.
I will also finish my ebooks and publish them on Kindle.
Below is my full profile: I grew up in Bible Belt with six years of Bible reading 5 days a week, 9 years of Sunday School 3 days/nights/week, and the same with Church sermons. I am a certified Protestant Minister.

ONE OF MY INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS:
There are a couple of inspirations to guide my writing ideas.
1. Being a book I once read titled: AUTHORSHIP by Doran William Cannon.
2. I attended an interview with Kurt Vonnegut and he advised me to start with writing what I know or about something which I have experience and knowledge of.
My Mother's Wish, For Me To Be A Baptist Minister. "Dear Mom, my inspiration, this is for you.
I grew up in the Bible Belt of America and was taught by the best Protestant Sunday School and Bible School teachers in the world. We Protestant Christians start our children's Bible education when they are just toddlers and they may attend Sunday School for a lifetime. There are Bible classes for all ages. I grew up attending for half my lifetime.
