Thanks to my Friends

This last week, my friends at church gave us some wonderful gifts to my wife and I to help us celebrate our 25th Anniversary. It's so nice to have a group of friends that see great value in this achievement. It's also because of these friends and many more that Donna and I have made this mile post. Yes there is a lot of work, compromise, giving and planning that is involved in marriage, but it takes good friends, supporting us that also helps.

So Donna and I would like to say thanks to all our friends for helping us through our first 25 years of marriage. Now it's on to the second 25.

Have an Awesome Day

A Note to my Wife

This last week, my wife shinned. This week . . .just to mention a few things, my wife graduated from College, entertained a house full of relatives, got the house cleaned up for a big party on Saturday and celebrated (with me) our 25th wedding anniversary (just to name a few things). And in all of it, she shinned like the bright morning sun. She is amazing.

Oh did I mention, she headed to more classes this morning for more education that will last most of the Summer! Just thinking about it make my head spin, but to her, she takes all this on and still has time for her kids and me.

Thanks Donna for a wonder 25+ years of marriage, two wonderful kids, and being a life partner that adds more then I ever expected to my personal pursuits.

Have an Awesome Day

A thought to new reality

One of the things I always thought I would be doing in this new season of life, is helping young pastor's navigate the tricky waters of staring a church.

During our first church plant, this was a key component that I could of used more of. Sure there was an occasional call or comment, but I needed more. Sure, I went to a conference or two, read a little, watched a few DVD's but I needed more. I said to myself ... self, when you are given a chance, help others in this adventure.

So when I got a call a last week to join our denominations training week for young pastor's and church planters, I knew this was a chance to give back. So off I go this week to see new things.

And the timing of this event . . .the worst. With a major building project going on, my wife's 25th Anniversary and her Graduation from College . . .all this week, it doesn't seem right. But it is.

Pray for me as I have a chance to give back.

Have an Awesome Day

David
