Terry B Shelton Jr
Ordained Minister in FRESNO, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I chose to get acquire this ordination paperwork for folks who like fancy paperwork and certificates. I was agnostic with regard to whether or not we were created beings until I was a little over 24 years old. I am 48 now. I have 4 biological and a bunch of God kids. I am both undeservedly and unreservedly blessed and i know it. You'll get nothing but the unvarnished truth from me and this is often an abrasive process so i go by T.J. "The Jerk". My Nana named me T.J. I will go by that name until my earthly father passes from this temporal realm.
Where are you from?
Born in Ventura, lived in a barn in upstate New York, then Pennsylvania then back to Cali after other states along the way. Fresno area as an early teen, Delaware in the 90's as a late teen. I have stayed in the Fresno area since 1998.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Be a benefit wherever i find myself.

I reside in Yokut Valley and grew up living in various areas. I spent many formative years among the Mono of the foothills above the valley. I have a prayer area in what is called Rattle Snake Alley in Jose Basin which is conveniently on the way to a place to ride naturally carved water slides and jump from heights up to 85 foot into a natural pool we use for baptisms. If your going for a second time we might stop by the prayer area and you could see my favorite chair.
