I'm back online. It's been a long dry spell due to computer problems (I don't want to hear it from you MAC users!) but my system has been rebuilt. I'll be making some changes... For one, I'll only be posting about once a week or so. Why? For one, I'll be working on the East Coast for the foreseeable future, so the purpose of the blog... To share devotions with my wife while on opposite sides of the country is no longer necessary. Another reason is that I have a huge plate with personal projects for this year, and I have to make some choices.

Just in case you're interested, here's my personal list for the year:

Write a book. I've been offered the opportunity to co-author a book on discipleship this year. It's going to be a big project and will consume most of my available time.

Learn Spanish. Marcia and I are taking a two week trip around the horn in February next year for our anniversary. I'm hoping to be able to converse some when we get to South America.

Discipleship Vision Team. I'm currently serving on our church's Discipleship Vision team. This is a big responsibility for me to take on, and it'll take a considerable amount of time.

Missions Committee. I'm serving on the Missions Committee at the church this year. I'm most likely going to be heading up the Missions Fair / Faith Promise program for 2006.

Beat my brother at golf. OK.... It's a dream, but there's room for that, too.

My plans are to post here about once a week, generally at the middle of the week. I'm not sure what the flavor of the day will be, but for now I'll continue the study in John for a while.

Until tomorrow...
