This creation of this site has been a delayed by various excuses and, to be honest, out right laziness on my part, but finally I have exhausted my excuses and started what will hopefully be one of many blogs. One of my major motivations behind this site is the fact that in three weeks I will be moving away to the San Francisco Bay area, a place where I can count the number of people I know on my hands, and starting what will God willing be my career. Thus leaving just about everyone I know and love, and being that I don’t happen to do well with keeping in contact with people, this is my attempt to change that fact. I “plan” on writing in this at least once a week, key word being plan. Whether it is what’s happening in my new location or just random thoughts on life, I want to keep those I care about informed.
As a starter I am currently finishing up my last week of working at a summer camp, Ponderosa Pines Christian Camp, up in Big Bear California. I’ve been working as a M.C./ Head Councilor type figure, and loving it a lot. I’ve got to meet and hang out with some amazing people, see Allison almost every weekend, and see God do some great things in Junior High and High School students lives. After the week is finished out I will be heading home for a week to Vegas, Come back down to Orange County to hang out with friends and Allison for a few days, and then I am yet to figure it out but moving me and my stuff up to the bay area and joining on staff at CPC, central peninsula church, working with student ministries and in some facet or another helping to build there new multi site. So that’s the quick basics, but more to come later, if you guys are reading this, two things, one thanks for taking an interest in my life and second I would love it if you would be praying for me as I move on to this new part of my life.
love it!
