Last night, technically, earlier this morning, I wrote a three page journal entry on what it means to me to be a pastor. The kicking off point was a thought that occured to me: The heart of a pastor must be guarded from sin yet available to sinners. This morning I awoke with the strongestContinue reading “How can I prepare them?”

The conversation
I’ve actually convinced someone to blog. Yay! Another convert…my plan is working…haha… Yesterday I was talking to a friend, and I was inadvertently encouraged to start writing. There are a bunch of books hidden deep within me, and it’s time to start getting some of that stuff to the surface. Today I started brainstorming. I’mContinue reading “The conversation”
Question
Last night was awesome, but it left me a bit….frustrated? angry? perplexed? I should begin by mentioning that it is not the people with whom I spent time that had me feeling such a mixed salad of emotions. It is what is going on in other churches that has me…ARGHHH. I have a question thatContinue reading “Question”
Vintage Faith Cafe
I just went to pasta night at our college/career ministry. Wow…talk about sensory overload. I was pretty much the only “outsider” aka the only person who has not been a part of the group for the past 10 years. I cannot recall the last time I laughed so hard. I think that these are peopleContinue reading “Vintage Faith Cafe”
Mark Batterson
Yesterday I wrote to my pastor about Mark Batterson and what National Community Church in Washington is doing. It turns out that my pastor has spoken with him. Small world.

Yesterday I spoke with the Admissions department in Liberty University and Gordon Conwell. GCTS is a great school, but you can only take 10Continue reading “Wrong way down a one-way street”

I’ve been absolutely amazed and blown away by the journey that God and I have been walking over the past few days. I went to a meeting to support a friend, and out of that meeting I made some pretty important decision. With those decisions have bubbled many ideas that I forgot were hidden awayContinue reading “I’ve been absolutely amazed and blown away by the …”
Quite amusing
Last night I received the most amusing phone call. A friend called me and said that she had been praying for me, and she sensed that I had some fear…about moving to Boston, about our friendship, about something. It was interesting, because for the first time in my life, I seriously have no fear aboutContinue reading “Quite amusing”
Today is a great day
Today is a great day. It is great to see that a man of integrity has been placed in the great halls of justice on the Supreme Court. It is the first time in a long time that I have been excited and proud of my government, the government that I have taken part inContinue reading “Today is a great day”
A New Beginning
Today seems to be the first day of the rest of my life, so I am beginning a new journey in a new blog. I will be relocating very soon…to the Boston area. I can’t wait to have a fresh slate, to start over. I know that my time in Boston will not be thatContinue reading “A New Beginning”
