I’m just thinking kind of clearly tonight, so I am just going to make a list of my thoughts

// I have come to realize that I am not good at blogging… Or twittering. So, I hope to increase my my writing as a way of organizing some thoughts, sharing faith with my friends, and encouraging anyone I can!

// I recently became a staffer at Northbrook Church, and God has blessed me in so many ways already, and I have only been on staff for 7 days. I am eagerly anticipating some of the tangible things God is going to do at Northbrook, and already thankful for some of the intangible stuff that I am totally unaware of.

// I am copying Zane by including this point, but I am thankful that God has brought us together as pastors in our city.  It’s almost overwhelming to be partnered with a guy like Zane. I am confident that he’ll keep me sharp and accountable as we serve together at Northbrook

// God is blowing my mind with my friendships in Dundee, Scotland. I consider Simon and Mairi TOP notch friends and servants of God in Dundee! Their hospitality and heart for their city is unrivaled and serve as a personal benchmark for me as I serve in my city, some 5000 miles away… Even though this is the longest paragraph in this post, I am somewhat speechless…

// I have a renewed awareness that this whole Christian life means that we are involved in a certain kind of warfare, that is spiritual… Things are going great, but have not come easily. Internal opposition has been intense at times, spreading thin things like motivation, a clear head, patience, and faith. Nonetheless, I am not easily discouraged because God is never defeated. (2 Cor. 4)
