Here We Go . . .

I am typically an old fashioned pen and paper kind of guy, so this blog thing is totally new to me. However, after spending days, if not weeks handwriting and mailing letters I have finally conceded to the twenty-first century (you win!). This blog, therefore, is my feeble attempt to let the testimony of Jesus shine through the life of our family to the ends of the earth (Matt. 5:14-15; 28:19-20). My desire is that this post and all that follow are not so much a story about us as they are about Christ in us (2 Cor. 5:20).

The above picture is a recent "fellowship" dinner we had at our home (Heb. 10:24-25). We typically host these dinners every Friday, although there are sometimes things that keep us from being 100% consistent. I will say from the onset that we are the ones who have been blessed by this fellowship. When we started hosting them about 2 years ago, it was with some hesitation and complaint. To be quite honest (and as a confession) my initial thoughts were: "What about our free time on Friday? How much will is cost? Won't our house get messed up?" However, as it turns out, we've experienced Acts 20:35 in a very tangible way. Thank you to everyone who has blessed us over the last several years of fellowship in our home. Can't wait until next Friday!
