Long Time; No Post

So it has been a long time since we have posted on this site (2 Years). I'm not all that faithful to it. I hope this will change.

God has done some amazing things in the last little while for me and Staircase Ministries. We brought our Saturday Afternoon Gathering to a close after a 3 1/2 year stint. Though this was difficult at the time, God has been faithful at every turn.

There have been some awesome opportunities to share at my home church. I was honored to share a few weeks ago on the topic of "Come Weary...Go Rested." I think we have all been there from time to time where life seems to weigh us down and cause us to be weary but we must never forsake the coming together to the House God has joined us to. We need the local body. We need the local church. I love the local church. I thank God for the comfort, the strength and the joy I find being connected to the local body.

I will be speaking in a few weeks in another church which I am totally excited about. I plan to share a message "Have A Seat". How many times do I get riled up, angry, frustrated and want to fight battles that I know deep down I can never win. Every time I leave my seated position in Christ due to anger, I feel the Hand of Jesus tap me on the knee and tell me, "Have a seat. I've got this." It's a totally different way to do spiritual warfare. I think it's a better deal. I sure have a lot to learn about that.

I will be heading up the local Forward Kids ministry at our church. I hope to bring some leadership, encouragement, and fun for our leaders and create a strong team.

I also hope to take some time and blog some thoughts and encouragement to you, the reader. Whether you are a leader, a follower, or just need a drink from the Water of the Word, I hope to come on here and express thoughts that will challenge but also help you grow in your journey.
