My Story

Mark Batterson inspired me to print out my 2006 Blog entries. After about an hour's worth of printing, I had 144 pages of entries, compared to Mark's 400.

Back in the Spring of 2006, I became intrigued by the concept of blogging after reading a fellow pastor's blog. I loved his stories, authenticity, and love for Christ. So, I thought I would begin my journey in the blogosphere. I am thankful to be a part of the blog world. I feel so inadequate (when it comes to writing), because (as Napoleon Dynamite would say) "I don't have any skills." =)

Taking a look at these entries, I am reminded that my life is telling a story. In Acts 3:19 the Bible says, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord" I love this verse for several reasons, but the main reason I love this verse is because of the words "blotted out". In Bible days, ink did not have acid in it. So, when people wrote on the parchments, it could easily be wiped away so that they could start afresh.

Here's the application: When we repent of our sins, God gives us a new page. We have a fresh start on life. I am thankful for God's forgiveness in my life. I pray that as people read my story that somewhere they would get a glimpse of Christ. God Bless you all, and Happy New Year!
