This and That

I have had every intent on putting more into this of late, but it just has not happened. I will just give some brief bits on my thinking.

  • I have been very thankful for the wonderful wife that God has given me. At work I have been around 2 people whose marriages have dissolved or are close to it. Our marriage has its moments like all others, but at the end of the day we know that we are both committed and in it for life.
  • Our ministry has been really effective of late, at least from our perspective. We have been given great opportunities to mentor and disciple the young people we have come to love and have really enjoyed the process.
  • A couple of doors for full-time ministry seem to be creaking open a bit. One appears at first glance to be a great opportunity while both are out of our initial comfort zone (So what else is new!). We are prayerfully taking steps forward and would appreciate your prayers as well.
  • As I look to fill out the questionnaire that I received from one of these opportunities, I kind of began approaching it like a test and wondering what the teacher was really looking for. I then remembered that it is not a test and all worry needs to be left at His feet. It is up to Him where we serve, not our answers.
