Many of my dear friends have been wondering what I've been up to. This blog is an attempt to keep everyone up to date, and give me a historical record, as life occurs. After an extended time of reflection - including much prayer - I've come to the place where I can say out loud, God has called me to pursue a life of full time ministry, specifically the call to "preach".
I argued with him for several weeks (who does that surprise?) But as usual, he gets that last word and the last laugh! I'm submitting and looking toward an adventursome future that leads to a deeper level of discipleship with the outflowing that builds the kingdom of God - giving Him glory and honor for the work that HE is doing.
In my denomination, the "call to preach" means a journey of education and accountablity. Of course that means higher education and significant costs. Accountability means to go through a series of "interviews" that are both personal and invasive. Neither of these 'courses' appeal to me, and yet the Holy Spirit works to provide peace and assurance that this is the process that God has called me to for the time being.
I covet your prayers and feedback. I hope that you will check back to the blog often, so you can keep up with the journey. You're as much a part of this as I am. God has seen fit to make you a part of my past, assisting him in making me who I am today. I need each one of you, as God sees fit, to continue this journey!
Thanks for being my friend!

Why doesn't that surprise me?
For as long as I have known you, you have never been hesitant to open your mouth. (Yes, you have judiciously chosen not to before...)
