Why, Why, Why?

Hello, friends.  Been out of the blog mix for a couple of months.

Soon I’ll be posting a series of blogs that will catch you up on my life and times.  The theme will be addressing the question of “Why?”

Some of the upcoming posts include:

  • “Why I’m Serving as a Shelter Manager”
  • “Why I Voted for Obama”
  • “Why I Don’t Want to Go to Church Anymore”
  • “Why Stewardship Sucks”
  • “Why Preaching Has Been too Narrowly Defined”

If any of these peek your interests, if you want to know what’s going on in my life, or if you just want to see how I’ll make a public fool of myself be sure to check back soon.

In the meantime …

Be the Peace!
