Colic blog: A Blog is Born.
I told myself I'd never blog. I promised myself. I contracted with me, myself, and I. Why? It's not hard to get comatosed by the countless ramblings of people with too much time on their hands (note: subtle Styx reference), or people who incessantly express their every thought ad nauseum. In my previous state of assurance, the only exception was if a monetary profit could be traced back to the musings of a blogger. Or, at the very least, even if there could be some non-monetary benefit recording one's thoughts, then it would be worth it. But, I think I've changed. I've been delivered. I see the light. I blog. I'm not going to cry about it anymore.
Why the conversion? Because I see what I've missed by not recording the events of my life and my journey as a church planter. And, I've been negligent in giving God public glory for what he's done in my life and how far he has brought me and Emmaus Church. He deserves both the glory and the blame!
So, here it is...in true fashion....my first blog. Did I write anything that would make anyone want to come back? Probably not, but, hopefully I'll deliver something of value that will honor God in the blog entries to come. After all, at best, my story is a subset to his story.

Dear GC,
Thanks for the encouragement...your comment is brilliant.
I think I will need to dust of my dictionary to make it through your posts. Oh how different we are.
I love sharing life with you. This past Sunday night's bible study was neat. Did I mention the feeling I had when you stood up and asked us what we would like to see in a church? Me, your wife, I saw in you what God alone is doing. Taking a simple, obedient man and accomplishing His will.
Your right sweetie, YOU can't do this, but God can. Thanks for starting a blog that will inspire others to quit crying and begin to follow their hearts.
I have a baby 2008,17 June,lucky date.When i took my baby,at that time i had no idea that after then ,all the nights,my baby will cry in pain which is called "colic".
