Back from Silence:

I'm back!!! 

What has happened in the mean time? Well, we moved from Wilmore, KY to New Carlisle, IN to take a position as Assistant Pastor to the New Carlisle Wesleyan Church. This role includes responsibilities dealing with but not exclusive to Student Ministries, Small groups, and other areas of discipleship ministries. We're excited about the chance to become a part of this community and help the Kingdom grow here!

Political Thoughts

Not sure who to vote for in this election yet. Kinda a toss up to me right now as I don't really like either of the candidates. They both seem to have good positions on somethings and bad positions on the other. Maybe we should put Jesus as a write in on the ballot (Steph's idea). I wonder what would happen if we really did that! 

Random Thoughts

Also, I'm trying to get more organized in my life. It seems I'm a very flighty person. Since I've been married, I've realized that I forget a bunch of things (sadly sometimes it was paying bills). My goal for this year is to become purposefully organized in all that I do. This means I have to get a calander book, use it, and remember to check it for important information. Because I'm good at usually 1-2 of those three things. So hopefully by the time I graduate I'll be proficient at being the most organized person I can be! Good Bye Type B personality!!!
