Thank you for taking time to visit my blog.  I hope what you find here will be an encouragement to you.

This blog is a way to process what God is doing along my faith journey and how I am being transformed by His life in me.  You will find personal notes about my family, insights from scripture, thoughts about church, leadership, relationships, and walking daily with Jesus.   Let me invite you to contribute your thoughts and discoveries because this is not a solo journey.

Hey John,
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll.
I also wanted to let you know that your link to subscribe by RSS is incorrect. You have a quote (“) on the tail end that causes it to be a bad link. Feel free to email me if this does not make sense…

John,
I remember the go ole days at Southco, hanging parts on racks building up huge black boogers for harvesting after the bell rang. Wanna hear something funny? I’m planting a church in about 9months. I’m a youth pastor now at http://www.gracefamilychurch.org but in the spring they are sending Kelly and I out to start a new work about 15 minutes north of the church. We are excited and scared. We are planting with the help of A.R.C. (association of related churches http://www.relatedchurches.com) Shoot me an email or something so we can catch up.
