And so it begins…
Today is my first day of teaching for the fall semester. I have 33 students in my class. I am looking forward to the semester as I do each year. I find that it is an awesome thing to help people get “kick started” in ministry. Now I dont always teach Baptist thinking. If that [...]

I just gotta brag on my kids…

Potentially speaking…
I am overloading myself with resources. It’s AWESOME. I am getting into the minds of some geniuses. I am really enjoying my queue of books. I am wrestling with thoughts that I have just not really thought about before. I am learning a lot. And I have about four more books that I am getting [...]
