Well, it finally happened. After three years without, our church has hired a new preaching minister. This has been a wonderful and at the same time maddening process. The outcome is (in my opinion) very satisfying. Not only did we learn more than we expected about faith in God, we ultimately received an amazing gift in Wade and Heather Hodges. I look forward to Wade joining our team and many years of wonderful, and at the same time maddening ministry together. For a look at Wade's thoughts on all this, check out his blog at

I just starting reading Leanard Sweet's book,
Soul Salsa. Just in the introduction I'm already hooked. Leanard says something like "being a friend of Jesus is not what He asked for. Jesus has enough friends, enough believers, followers. What He needs is more disciples, more people willing to pattern their lives after His." Wow. Thank you sir, may have another. I hope I am showing my students that Jesus is more than just a great friend. But honestly sometimes, that's the very thing I hear myself saying and presenting. Lord, please help me to see your son for who he truly IS!
