If you are still coming here, then shame on you! Go to my new blog.

This is a sort of "state of the union" kind of thing... the year in review and what is ahead.

2003 has been a tough year. From the Horizon pastor position falling apart, to moving twice, to my brother Jack losing his battle with a brain tumor... man, I hope I don't have to go through another year like this.... ever! Turmoil, confusion, frustration, lose...

I'm sure Alicia and I will look back on it and see how it grew us, and see what God was doing. There have been times in the past year that it felt pretty much impossible to know anything God was doing. But I have learned some stuff. I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned some about being true to who God has made me to be. I have learned a lot about the type of ministry I am supposed to be doing. I have learned that the only thing I have any control over is this present moment. I have control over my attitude and my focus... and that is pretty much it. I have learn that you should never feel sorry for yourself, because it cripples you.

Well... 2003 is officially over... and it is time to move on. This will be my last post with Blogger. I am moving my online activities to our new website SimplePilgrimage.org and my new blog there. There is still much design work to be done on the website and blog, but it is functional at this point. Hopefully I'll figure out how to import all these posts into the new blog and they will be in the archives in the near future. God bless you and keep you this coming year!
