If you are looking at this page you may be asking, “Who is this Tim guy?”
Well, let me take a moment to let you know the answer.
I’m a guy.
I’m a Christian.
I’m a Husband and Father.
I get to pastor a church, of which I am extremely grateful to God for. I’m a Baptist by choice, and I’ll probably be that way for as long as Jesus lets me stay on this planet.
I enjoy lots of things, most of which I don’t get to participate in at the moment. I’m hoping to get back into Fishing, Karate, Physical Fitness, and Reading novels again…sometime. 
Oh, and Dahl (pronounced doll), is a Norwegian name meaning “Valley.” My Greatx5 Grandparents migrated to Texas many-a-year ago.

Tim,
I saw your repsonses to Danny Chisholm’s (I work with Danny at Univeristy Height Baptist in Springfield, MO) blog about the Open Letter to Cecil Sherman and noticed that you are at FBC, Lake Worth. In the 80’s, while at the “Seminary on the Hill” I wasminister of music at FBC, Lakeside. I loved my time there and still have contact with some of the kids (I still call them kids even though many are now in their 40’s) that sang in my youth choir. I guess you could call me one of those “old” guys that was there when it all came crashing down. I recall walking through the rotunda at SWBTS one day seeing Jimmy Draper and Russell Dilday in deep conversation. No doubt they were probably not agreeing about something to do wtih the SBC. I remember going to the SBC convention in Dallas when there were about 45,000 people in attendance and I was the only one from FBC Lakeside that did NOT vote in favor of the fundamentalist candidate. The whole affair make no sense to me and still doesn’t, but I’m no longer a member of an SBC church, so I try to move forward.
Eldon Pritchard, whom I believe was pastor or interim pastor at Lake Worth was the interim pastor at FBC Lakeside in my final months there. He was one of the finest pastor which whom I’m had the pleasure to work.
Best wishes on your pastorate in Lake Worth, it’s a great area.

Marvin,
Blessings upon you and your household! We’ve had a good relationship with FBC Lakeside since I’ve been here. If you are ever in this area, let me know and I’ll buy your lunch.
Tim
