submerge.2010

hey there.

holy cow!  this month is almost over.  guess i've been kinda busy catching up on ministry since my vaca.  needless to say, submerge.2010 was STUPID AWESOME! there were 500+ in attendance, with 79 decisions to follow Jesus.  WOOHOO!

if you could slow the shutter speed waaay down on your camera and take a 2-1/2 hour long picture of submerge...  first of all, it would be kinda fuzzy; because we did a lot of cool stuff.  but it would also be the PERFECT picture of student ministry.  thank you underground staff members for all of the countless hours of hard work.  thank you underground students for blowing this event up.  and thank you most of all to God, who allowed us to see a short glimpse of how fun heaven is gonna be!!!

here are a few of my fave pix:

don't you dare stop havin' fun.

so far, so good...

hey there.

welp, we're working on our third day of the new year now.  and just for the record, twenty-ten is treating me just fine.  the truth is:  i'll be leaving on a cruise to the bahamas today with my high school sweetheart.  WORD!

on january 7th of this year, wendy jo and i will have been married for 15 years!  WOOHOO!!!  every new year serves as an excellent immovable marker when we can take stock of where we've been and where we're going.  but 2010 especially gives me a chance to reflect on the love God has given to wendy and i, what it has taken us through, and where it is leading us next.  i am so thankful for the unbelievable history that we've shared together, but can hardly wait for the unimaginable future ahead.  i'm looking forward to the things that God will reveal to me when i quiet myself before Him in the coming days of this new year.

next time you see me, i'll have a better tan, and a better plan.  how about you?
