My name is Bill Stegemueller. Thanks for dropping by Bill’s Bytes! Take a look around and grab the RSS feed to stay updated. See you around!

I’m a PASTOR that is passionate about JESUS.  My purpose is to know Him and to make Him known.  I’ve been in full time ministry for the last 19 years. I currently serve Medina United Methodist Church and am going on my 9th year as their pastor.  (I’ve served churches in Liberty Hill, Lakehills, Mertzon/Christoval, and Victoria)  I’m doing what I LOVE.   I can’t imagine doing anything else.  I’d do it for free if I could.   I love to preach/teach.  I preach expositionally… book by book… chapter by chapter… verse by verse.  I  LOVE to Study the Bible.  I try to read through the entire Bible every year.  This year (2011) I’m trying to read through the entire Bible electronically either on my laptop or iPhone.  It has been very DIFFERENT so far.  (UPDATE on July 2011: Gave up reading through the whole Bible digitally… there’s something about literally turning pages.)

I graduated Texas Tech with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and am still heartbroken that they got rid of the Pirate (Mike Leach).  I went on to Asbury Theological Seminary where I completed a Master’s of Divinity.

Some of my other hobbies include playing the guitar!  I LOVE playing in our church group and I find that it keeps me young.  I agree with Martin Luther, “When you can’t pray… SING.”

I also love to read and blog and am always into the latest tech.  I LOVE my iPhone and Macbook pro!

My other passion is firearms. I love GUNS and am passionate about defending my second amendment rights.   I have my Texas CCW Permit and  belong to the Bandera Gun Club and my motto is, “Better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.”

My Lord and My Family take all precedence in my life. I am married to Anna Ramsey Stegemueller for 18 years (Anniversary March 14) and we have three  four wonderful children: Christi (17 years), Kaitlin (15 years), and Cody (14years old)… and now we are blessed to have Wendy (18 years) be a part of our family!

We are just your typical CRAZY family!
