I have three kids, have been married since 1993 to my wonderful wife Cheryl, I have been a follower of Jesus since 1992, and have been involved in youth ministry since 1993 as a volunteer, youth pastor, Dean of Students at a Christian school, and now I am the Director of Ministries and Volunteer Development for Serve Our Youth Network - a ministry that reaches out to high-risk children and youth throughout Central Iowa. Their website is http://www.serveouryouth.org and their blog is http://serveouryouth.wordpress.com.
I just became the interim pastor for a new church start in Indianola, IA called Grace Evangelical Free Church. We are launching on Easter - March 23, 2008 at 9:00am. So if you live in Indianola and don't have a church home, please drop on by! Grace EFC's website is http://www.graceindianola.org/.
My wife and I are members at Valley Church in West Des Moines (though I won't be attending for awhile) and are involved in numerous volunteer capacities. Valley's website is http://www.valleychurch.info.
I also want to encourage you to check out my main blog - Caffeinated Thoughts to keep up with my thoughts on life, ministry, culture, news, and politics from a biblical worldview.
Yeah AU is Anderson University in Anderson Indiana. I went through the final round of interviews for an Admission Counselor position that works with Middle school through Junior's in high school.
I ended up having to work at a house a couple blocks from my house. The kids played the Wii and played out in the snow for a bit. Aaron shoveled the walk for me.
lol, oh we've been seeing each other for quite a while now. hahaha, basically I got bored one day and decided to see how good I was with photoshop ;) we would make a nice couple though, i have to say
it's going good. Today was my second Sunday. I am just going to start out slow and steady. Get to know the people and then get a good sense of direction.
Thanks for the comment - nice pic! Things are good here, still crazy - coming back to IA July 14-16 to prepare for our missions trip to Costa Rica, which happens July 21-31.
