4.23.05: Brief Ministry Update

We are currently serving at www.gracewoodlands.org. Jamie, the children, and I are re-adjusting to being in Texas after having been gone for 6 years. Even so, this is a very exciting time in our lives. We are near family and able to spendtime with them that we have neverhadteh luxury of doing in our marriage until now. There is much happening in the area of my calling to serve as Asst. Pastor at Grace, the least of which is not the fact that I am preaching tomorrow over I Peter 4:12-19. The main idea behind this passage is that of what it means to be so fully identified with Christ that it can be said that we "participate in Him". The two points this week are that we participate in both Christ's Sufferings and in His Triumph. More on the idea of suffering to come ... peace.
