So last night was our first EVER youth meeting. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but we had 13 students show up, much to my surprise. God is so awesome! I thought there MIGHT be like 5 or so, but 13? WOW!

Since there is NO youth ministry here at all, I am literally starting from the foundation, and that is just building relationships. There are great things in the works, but right now, I am simply focusing on getting to know the students that I have. Once I get in with them, I can start to build on that foundation.

I appreciate all of your continued prayers. The road ahead is a long one, and I know that I am still in the “honeymoon” phase so to speak. Everything right now is very optimistic and cheery, but I know that there is hard work to be done. So here we go!

Today I gave my notice at my current job. I have been here for over 3 years, serving as the webmaster for a large church. It has been a wonderful experience; one of learning and growth for me. But that time is now over, and God has opened the door to full time ministry for me, and I am excited to finally be walking into what He has called me to.

This was a letter that I found someplace. I loved it so much, that i adopted it for myself. I can’t take credit for the original writing, but it definitely resonates with me in a big way. Parts of it I have been altered to be more personalized and made my own.

I FINALLY finished the GBM website. Although as time goes by, little tweaks here and there find their way to my desk. This site has kind of a web 2.0 feel with the solid colors, transparent windows, and striped bottom. I’m still using flash, as I am continuing to learn CSS, HTML, Java, and other such things. Eventually, I would love to move away from a flash site altogether. But right now, that is what I know.

I got an invitation to join “pownce,” the new social networking community of Kevin Rose (founder of Digg.com) and friends. So far, it’s kind of like Twitter and social “sharing” of things lke URLs, files, and common events. I think it has great potential as a collaborative tool, and I definitely see it as being in it’s “infant” stages of learning to walk. I think the minds behind it have great ideas, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store.
