VIRB

Driving home from The Middle of Nowhere, NC was not the place that I thought that all of this would come together. Honestly, I really didn't expect it at all, but I guess that's where it should have happened because I had no other option than to listen, or go insane with the 8th playing of Kel's Gray's Anatomy Soundtrack. As she napped, it hit me, and I am so excited about finally getting it together. Have you ever felt like your brain was filled with several things, but you just can't put your finger on what it is? Maybe you would write a thought down at times, only to see it not make sense to you a few hours later. This is where I have been lately. So many thoughts, so many stories, yet I can't seem to put it all together. Well, last night, on my drive home from an engagement party for one of Kel's college friends, there it was, the thoughts finally came together. "I'm only 26" is the direction for a group of essays on my experiences and lessons from a twentysomething student minister trying to be relevant in a southern baptist culture. A few sample chapter titles are: The Gospel of SHHHH, A Christian response to GREEN, When God's voice seems opposite to common sense, Is it us to them or them to us?, and the lessons for a son. Please pray for me as I work. I am excited about getting these thoughts down, and for the lessons that I am sure to learn through all of it......
