Musings on Spiritual Matters

A Needed Update

Wow, it has been so long for me writing a blog post that I believe I might need a lesson on how to do it.  Well, everyone here is a little update on what I have been up to in life.  Two weeks ago I was on a plane heading to Nashville.  Not really Nashville, just had time to get a car and go to Memphis.  Sadly, there are some people that I like to see while in town, but did not have any time.  So I was heading to Memphis for my last class in the Doctorate of Ministry program.  Yes, last class.  It was the Leadership Development class, which was excellent with a huge “E” on it.  This was a wonderfully practical and helpful class.  It was more than information, but the professor really caused us to think through the issues and the complexity.  The more I do ministry that more I see the complexity of it all.  The best leaders can see this and do something about it.  So the class went great, and it was fun being in Memphis.  I also spoke in chapel.  It seems that mostly when I am in town, I do this now.  It seemed to go well.  Then from there I headed to a conference, the conference was excellent and I enjoyed it much.  I got to go to a new area of the world that I have never been to before, and it was great seeing some of the sights, but mostly being in a church building teaching and preaching.  I stayed with a wonderful family, and was treated highly well.  Great time.  It seems that the Lord is opening a ton of doors for me to speak around this great nation.  My elders support this because they see it as part of their ministry as well.  I got to see some old friends, which was so nice.  It took me back to the day.  I praise God that he uses me in his kingdom.
