Long time no blog!

Ok, I confess. My Space has taken over my life. haha As I type this one out. It's going to be random musings going through my head. It's 5:30 in the morning so everything will probably be unedited.
I'm getting ready to head to Salisbury MD this weekend. In just a few short hours I'll be on the plane. I'm looking forward to a lot of things. One, my family is going to meet me there. My brother and his wife are also coming. I'm going up for my 20th class reunion. I'm looking forward to seeing how people have changed over 20 years. I've been kind of joking with folks at church that I'm going on my second mission trip of the year. If you are reading about this and have no clue as to what I'm referring to, then let me fill you in. In June of this year, my wife, Sabrina, went on a trip to Honduras and then in July, I got to go to Venezuela. It was an amazing trip. But, more on that at another time.
My class reunion. It's a bit odd of me to go to this because I went to this school for only my senior year. So really, I won't know hardly anyone! But, I'm looking forward to being as crystal clear as to where I stand and that is to be a disciple maker for Christ. I must admit that I'm haunted by something our pastor said this past week. He and a couple other staff members were in the Middle East and he had just returned a couple days earlier. He spoke of a Muslim family that they spent time with. They said, and I'm paraphrasing, to hear the cries of hell and not be able to stand it. And that's coming from a Muslim!
Church. We need to be a church who hears the cries of hell and not be able to stand it!

So, I pray that God gives me clarity, wisdom and discernment as I spend time with folks I went to school with. I'm hoping to catch up with some great friends while I'm there. Whew! I'll need a vacation just to recover from this one!
