I realize that is has been a relatively long time since I have written on my blog. There are numerous reasons for that. One of which is that we don’t have internet at the house yet (I just haven’t had the energy for the hassle). There are a lot of things that have been going on so here is the update…
Kris and I have now really settled in to living here in Denver. She is going to school full-time and working for a Developmental Optometrist doing vision therapy. I am a level two teller at Elevations Credit Union. We are both starting to plug in at church. Kris will probably be teaching the Kindergarten and 1st grade on Wednesday nights. I am co-teaching a class on John with my Dad on Wednesday nights and yesterday morning I preached.
Things are definitely different here. Not being in a ministry position (for the time anyway) is strange. It’s kind of like visiting a different country (in this case the financial world) and not having a guide. It feels really awkward to sit and listen as opposed to teaching and leading and sharing with others. Both have their advantages.
Our presentation at Harding University is coming up almost too quickly. We are really hoping that The Xapis Project Resource Network (www.theprojectonline.wordpress.com – This is the preview blog) will be a great success and a valuable asset to the Kingdom. But for now we just have to get it UP and RUNNING. This seems like an ever-increasingly difficult task in the last few weeks with slow turn around times from the host and lack of time on my part. It will get done I suppose…after all it absolutely has to.
I’m tired. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe I am just having a hard time adjusting. I spent all day learning banking software and thinking about theology. I’m torn between two worlds right now. I don’t have anyone near by that I can talk to about the ministry and theological things that are swirling in my mind. My dad doesn’t have the energy and others just don’t seem all that interested. It sucks. Maybe the Network will allow me to get some of that out in the open. Maybe I just need more access to this blog, then all three of you could read what I have to say.
Yeah it’s been forever…in fact, lately everyday has felt like an eternity.

Hey brutha…It’s been awhile since we’ve talked. My phone got swallowed up by the toilet so I lost all my numbers. Glad to hear that you guys are getting settled in there. Shoot me an email and I’ll send you my number bud, it would be good to talk to you soon. Keep it up bud, I sympathize with the feeling of not being in ministry anymore…it definitely takes some getting used to…and I don’t know if I ever will…but that’s a much longer converstaion that I won’t be putting on here. Too long of a comment already. Good luck brutha, much love, and I’ll talk to you soon.

After reading that comment again I think I should put more time into my posts…and quit using the term “bud” so often…what do you think, bud!!!
