Some major changes are in store for me and Marlene in the next few months…
So, I thought I’d let you know by updating my “40 by 40″ list:
5) Plant a church / Well, not technically. But I have been called to serve as Senior Minister at Northwest Christian Church in Arlington, Texas. I will end my service in Lufkin at the end of August and begin at Northwest in mid-September. And I’m sure all of the things I’ve learned about church planting will come in handy. It will be very hard to leave Lufkin (again) and all the people here (whom I love dearly), but I am also excited about this new opportunity.
6) Become a dad / We are pregnant! 13 weeks along and due in February!
9) Own a Mac / Planning on buying one when we make the transition!
12) See a live UFC fight / UFC 103 is in Dallas…and I have tickets!
24) See a game in the new Cowboys stadium / I’m hoping this will happen since I’ll be living less than a mile away!
35) Be a keynote speaker / I will be keynoting Central Area’s CYF Conference in 2010!
37) Take my step-dad to Colorado / This actually happened over Spring Break…but I haven’t updated since then!
So, yeah…lots of major changes. Please be praying for us!
