MEET DAVE "BIG D" BENTLEY - A MAN OF MANY HATS I have worn a lot of hats in the course of my life. I wear the "husband hat" with my wife, Andie, to whom I have been married to for 36 years. I wear the "daddy hat" with my children, Danielle and David. I am privileged to don my "Papa hat" with my six grandchildren. I have served churches in West Virginia, Alabama, Florida and Vermont. For almost 11 years I have been privileged to serve in Wallingford, Vermont. I wear my teacher hat as a professor of English at Northeastern Baptist College in Bennington, Vermont where I have the privilege of also directing the writing center, where I am also pursuing an additional degree in applied theology. My hobbies tend to revolve around my family, so they include, camping, traveling, playing board games, and spending time with them. In addition I enjoy reading, rainy days, listening to and playing worship songs, and cooking.

PAPA DAVE

For those who didn’t know already, I’m a new Papa! With the birth of Amaria Starr Bentley to my son and his wife I enter the world of grand-parenting. I’m really looking forward to being a Papa–from what I’m told it’s the best thing in the world. Later this year my second grand-daughter will be born to my daughter and her husband. I’m thinking that this could well be one of the best years of my life.

I would love to hear the stories, encouragements, warnings, and more from other grandparents. Post them here.

Blessings,
Papa!
