It's the beginning...again. After a hiatus from blogging, and several gmail account changes that erased past blogs forever, I decided to do some writing again. And why not? 2014 is a big year -- I am happily preparing for a wedding in August, and I am solidly into year number two as associate pastor at Millbrook Baptist Church. Life is good, and so too is my hope for the year ahead. Fingers to keyboard, and off we go.
So what will this blog be about? All sorts of things.
Each week, I am privileged to be able to offer the morning prayer in Millbrook's Sunday worship service. Several of my friends have asked me to post these prayers, so I'll include a few of my favorites in this blog. I've also been busy with a weekly Bible study and various Sunday School classes -- I'll write about issues that we've discussed in these groups. I'm still (even more so after 18 good months at Millbrook) a strong believer in the local church as a place of transformation, hope, and realized-potential. I want to write about ways we can make the church even more dynamic and even more responsive to the needs of people right here and right now. And I still love good food and interesting places and sports teams that really make their fans endure the full range of human emotions (I'm talking about you Braves, Panthers, Bobcats, Deacs and Pack!). Every once in a while I'll share a good recipe, or a new greasy spoon, or tell you how my favorite team can finally make it over the hump. I hope you'll read, and respond, and help make this blog a community.
I feel you should know that when Sean was little, along with being a lifelong Redskins fan, he decided to be a Panthers fan. He had one of those ridiculous puffy Panthers jackets he wore all the time! We still cheer for them, but people up here don't get why.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting back to writing. I will follow with interest. Any chance of finishing up Cola?
