Wow, I completely forgot about this blog.

Perhaps it's time to pick this up again. A whole lot has changed since my last post. Of course 6 years have passed, if nothing had changed I'd be worried.

I'm now married to Dixie, and it's been a wonderful 5 years. Our lives have been challenging, but still exceedingly full of joy. We're expecting our first child sometime around January, 31 2011! We no longer attend New Spring, though it's still a fine church. Currently, we attend the Carpenter's Church in Anderson, SC. We've enjoyed it quite a bit. The pastor, Kendall Hicks, is quite sharp ... and he's aware that he's human (which is pretty cool). I'll talk more about the church at a later date. I now own and run a discount Christian Bookstore in Anderson.

As for my relationship with Christ, it has only deepened in the past several years. Grace ... it's about that. I've had some wonderful opportunities to study.

For now I'll just wrap up this post. But I do look forward to posting a bit more often (maybe once every year and a half.)

A "WOW" Weekend

Holy Biscuit church was awesome today! Some of you might not understand that comment. First you would have to know that I attend one the greatest churches in the world. It is called New Spring Community Church. If you are ever in or around Anderson, SC come by and check it out. If you have had bad or boring experiences in church in the past, I assure you New Spring is not what you think. Today we got to listen to several people talk about what Jesus has done and is doing in their lives. It was positively incredible. Not to mention the band, if any of you guys and gals happen to read this I just have to say that Jesus ROCKS through you all.

This weekend I also got to go to the DMV and brighten up their day just a little bit. Seriously, how incredible is it when Christ works through us for the benefit of others. It is amazing what God can do when we rest in Christ and allow Him to live His life through us.

Here is a thought...what if the Christian life was supposed to be simple? Not without troubles, but simple. Good news! It is supposed to be simple! Check this out: "But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11: 3) Kinda cool huh?

Saturday I got to go to a surprise party for a friend of mine named Sarah. I met some really cool people and we had a great time. Who would have thought that I could have that much fun playing "Marco Polo?"

Today I got to cut some grass. As I was getting ready to do so someone stopped by and asked if I cut cut their grass as well. I figured "why not." Let me tell you...that yard kicked my tushy. I wanted to do it for free but he wouldn't let me leave without paying me. How cool is God that He would give me that kind of opportunity right when I needed a bit of money? Yay God!!

Well I suppose that I am going to relax for a bit while I wait for the most wonderful girl in the world to give me a call. (Quick explanation: My girlfriend, Dixie, is currently at her parents' place in Florida. She will be back at Anderson College in about 3 weeks. Praise God!)

Just a thought...

Some very close friends of mine, as well as myself, find this verse very cool. I figured I would share it with you all.

Philippians 1:6
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

As we learn to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we will realize that the perfecting does not come from us. The more we learn to allow Christ to live His Life through us we will begin to really live.

Yay God! More on this subject later!

A New Day!!

Isn't today awesome? How cool is it that we (Christians) can enter into a day with the knowledge that we are God's kids. How amazing is it that He loves us as much as He does Jesus? I know that today is going to be an incredible day. I'll tell you more about it later. For now I need to get working.

Getting Started

Good Morning all you blog surfin' guys and gals. I would go into more detail about this blog. But I get to go to work right about now. How awesome is that? I get to go watch God work. That is my job. Whooo Hooo!! Seriously though, I will try to update this and give a little more background later today.
