Let's get this thing started!

So I've never been very good at stuff like this, but I have been encouraged by several to start this. I decided it might not be a bad thing with our upcoming move to Ft. Worth in the fall - this way I can let people know what is new in our lives without having to call the whole phone book! Someone might have to keep on me about updating it on a regular basis ... but I'll do my best!

May is always a crazy month in youth ministry - it's the kickoff for the even crazier summer months ahead. With seniors graduating, with big end of school sermon series, etc. It's exciting, but exhausting. We find ourselves spending more time in the church building than at home! But that's the thing about ministry ... as tired as you may get, and as often as you may consider quiting and just staying home... YOU CAN'T! We talk often in our home about the fact that if He has called you to be a minister, you don't have a choice. JD can tell you how many times I have threatened to leave the church building for good... and well ... you see me there, right? I can't help it... ministry is my heartbeat and the one place where I feel like I am truly living the life He made me to live. So regardless of the lack of sleep, the tired body, the fast food meals ... it's the life we live and we love it! So we wake up each morning and hit the ground running ... summer here we come!
