auld lang syne
Another year draws to a close and it's only natural to find myself reflecting. Come to think of it, this marks a year that I've been writing this online journal. It seems fitting that I would then enter 2007 with a post.
It's overwhelming to think of the changes that have taken place in my life in 2006. I moved to Missouri to be an apprentice at Crosswinds Church... I then became the director of the recovery ministries... then Assistant Pastoral staff... and now, as of January 01, 2007, I have been named the interim lead pastor of Crosswinds. Whoa! I don't even know how that all happened. How do you go from an intern to the lead pastor of a church within a year? Our God is an awesome God... sometimes I think He's got some crazy ideas too. (just being honest...)
Also in this year I have seen my family get spread out geographically more than they have ever been before. Stephanie and her family are in North-East Wisconsin, Mom and Dad remain in South-central WI, I am in the StL, and Marc has moved his family to the northern rim of Indianapolis. It makes family gathering less frequent and a bit more difficult, but we're dedicated to making it work. That's what families do.
I'm sure I'll have more thoughts to come, but the New Year is quickly approaching and I want to ring it in with friends.
Happy 2007! Let's make it great!

Gregg, the Lord certainly has blessed you in your life. He has also blessed all those you have come into contact with. I just read your previous blog of morning. I'm just happy to see you're not falling out of a lofted bed anymore. "That sounded like all of you" I hope to hear from you soon!

It is strange when family is so far away...very common in our generation, but still hard at times. We live in Alaska and my parents live off the shores of Florida. Seeing each other takes a mighty long time to travel. Yes, they're only a phone call away, a webcam glipse, but it's still not the same.
