plant and run

Don’t you just love starting? I do.

Starting means that everything is new, fresh and exciting. What’s not great about that? Yesterday evening I walked in the front door to be greeted by three bouncing boys…and a UPS package. I savored every moment as I unboxed some brand new trail shoes. I immediately laced ‘em up and put them on for no reason whatsoever. I even had to “run” down to the levee to throw some rocks in the Mississippi with Sam and Zach. Ah, the sweet rubbery smell of triumph.

Usually, though, starting isn’t just about the new but about renewal. Starting for most of us is starting over. We need redemption like three squares a day.

Right now my life is being reset. I stand on the brink of major upheaval. I can’t wait.

So since I am in the mood to start over. I figure it’s time for a new online presence. This site will be a great place to visit to keep up with the new happenings in my life over the next couple of years.

Wondering what’s going on? Well I’ll gladly unpack it for you over the next couple of days as I flood this site some introductory posts. But the long and short of it is this:

TWO LIFE GOALS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED SOON:

1. plant a church

2. run a marathon

Like I said, I’m excited. See you soon.
