Welcome To My World

Thank you for visiting my blog. As you can see this is my first blog. Now this is not actually the first blog I have ever written as I have unsuccessfully made many attempts at blogging all to see them wind up in black hole of the internet and never seen again (by me).

So what makes me think I can make another attempt at blogging and maintain it successfully? Well... nothing. I gues I will just hope you, the reader, will find this page interesting enough to keep coming back and giving me your two cents on my "random thoughts".

I am a pastor. I have been a senior pastor for a small church in WI for close to ten months. Prior to that I was a youth pastor for 14 years (yep you read that right 14 years!). I enjoy pastoring and I love to read God's Word. One of my "jobs" as a pastor is to read, study and communicate God's Word to others so they may be encouraged, edified and challenged. Hopefully this is what will happen as you read these posts.

The purpose of this blog is three-fold...

1) It is important, as a pastor, to stay rooted in God's Word and this blog is basically going to be random thoughts that I have concerning the Scripture that I am reading; so it is going to be sort of an open journal for anyone to read in regards to my thoughts on the scriptures.

2) To encourage and hopefully challenge you, the reader, to dive a little deeper in God's Word and see how it is still relevant for us today.

3) To spout off about whatever is on my mind at the time of writing.

Well, I guess that's all I have right now. I hope you enjoy and come back often.
