Out of blogger retirement

Wow, it has been a while...so much has happened and I haven't even know where to start writing, if I did sit down a visit my old friend, the "Inner Current". Well, it has been a long year, but things are still moving...the church is still growing...peoples lives are still being changed...which serves as a beautiful reminder to me about the most important rule of ministry, "It's not about you and me, it's about Him!"

This past year I have found myself very refreshed by Paul's simple words of wisdom as he wrote his first letter to the struggling and discouraged church at Corinth..."But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. "- 1 Cor. 1:27-29

LOL, that dude wasn't kidding! But praise God that he has surrounded me with so many other crackpots to help me along the way. Guess we compliment each other well ;)

One of the great sources of encouragement for me has been the folks in my Life Group. They have truly become some of my best friends, as they have been there for me and my family no matter what. Whether it was a timely prayer, a night out to dinner, or an evening of funny stories over a bottle of wine, our Life Group has grown far beyond the actual times we are scheduled to meet every other weekend! So thank you John and Yvonne, Pamela (we miss you), Fred and Liz, and Steve and Joni. You have meant the world to us this past year. Here's to "this show I saw on the discovery channel about Noah's Arc". LOL.

Doing life together...that's what it's all about!
