Starting Over Again

It has been weeks since my last post. The problem is that I am not really a posting type guy, however I would like to keep a Journal and I am not really a writing type of guy. So with that in mind I would rather be a poster/blogger than a writer. Today I am starting again. With the Lord's help I will keep information online about my family, ministry, and personal things. I really would like a personal outlet that is not accessible to anyone (like a secret journal). This I may start doing online if their is a way to keep it private.

Here a just a few prayer needs:

1. A closer fellowship with Jesus Christ. This sounds fanatical but that fact is I John 1 says that if we walk in the light as He (Jesus Christ) is in the Light we have fellowship one with another. The light is His righteousness. So I need to keep a short sin list and walk in the Light of His Word so my fellowship will be closer and my life more fruitful.

2. A more loving relationship with my wife Cindy. Don't get me wrong. I love Cindy now and have since the first day I started loving her. However, after twelve years of marriage you would expect an even closer and more loving relationship with your wife. Loving is not always sex and I have found that out over the years. My wife is very beautiful on the outside and especially beautiful on the inside. I would just like to feel as if we where honeymooning again every day.

3. Pastoring per God's Word and direction. I really am doing this now. But to be honest many times I ask myself would I want to be under the leadership of myself? My goal is to get to the point where I would say yes more often than no.

4. Getting out of debt. This is a long time goal of most people. Getting out of debt is on almost every one's someday list. However, I would like someday to be within 2-3 years. The only debt I will accept for 5-7 more years is the debt of my home. However, beyond the home my goal is to be debt free.

5. Complete my College Degree. I wish this was completed 5 years ago. However, my only option is to continue going to College and one day I will get my bachelors degree in Pastoral Ministry. Right now I have 11 classes to complete (if I get passing grades for all the classes I took last semester).

The list really could go on and on and on. However, these are the majors in my life. With the Lord's help I know they can become a reality.
