What have I gotten myself into?

So, here we go. A friend gave me an article by Abraham Piper that pastors should blog...it made sense...so here I go. But really, what have I gotten myself into? I am already busy. But when you believe God is leading you...well, you can complete that sentence.

I told Jackson and his friend Josh (going to Bulgaria with his missionary parents soon as they raise all their support) to a MercyMe concert Saturday. My first experience like this. I was blown away. What worship! What unity and diversity! These guys are committed to God's glory and preached to us that night that it is not about us...but about Him. They very powerfully proclaimed God's sovereignty in word and song. If you don't believe me, check out their lyrics. So much for the broad brush some use to paint all contemporary Christian music as lacking depth.

Jillian, our 25 year old daughter, is planning to come into town this week. She was supposed to fly in Sunday but she was dianosed with mono...and with her already weakened lungs, the doctor wanted to check her out today to see if she should fly at all. If you think about it, pray for her. It is tough to accept physical limitations at 51 - so I can only imagine how tough it is when you are her age.

Listen, you all need to help me. This blogging stuff is new for me so if you have any ideas email me, okay? Is there a spellcheck on this thing? I really could use it. Where is Eric when I need him? Well, that's all for now...
