Please Don't Eat Me

I have my ordination counsel on Tuesday. I know that probably doesn't really mean a lot to most people, but for a pastor in the Evangelical Free Church, it is a pretty long and difficult process. To be honest I am pretty nervous about the three hour counsel.

I am sure this very important event in my life is similar to the hundreds of other things that we all worry about in life: children, jobs, health, relationships, family, school, and the list goes on. The truth is all we can do is the very best we can, and when we realize that God is ultimately in control of life, it gives us courage to do the best we can without fear of failure.

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

A Bad Rap

My family and I went out to New Jersey this past weekend to interview for a Pastor position. I heard before I went out to the Northeast that the people there are rude and always in a hurry, but I found quite the opposite. People are very down-to-earth and nice. I think they, like other regions in the United States, are incorrectly stereotyped.

The trip went very well, and I hope to see them again.

Welcome
