It’s been too long since an update so here some things that you may or may not know to catch you up with our lives-

• After 4 months of no luck on the job front, I finally got a job.  I’m working for a free online public high school here in South Carolina as a Community Outreach Director.  It’s a Godsend for more reasons than just having a paycheck.  For one, I’m getting to meet more people here than I could have ever done simply as a pastor.  I’ll be speaking at events all across the Midlands.   Also, it’s great to be working with a school that will make an impact on tons of lives here in South Carolina.  The main downside is that there is no guarantee that the job will last beyond the summer.  But…that should be enough time to line up other things to make ends meet just in case it ends.
• The church plant is going well.  We are really starting to meet a good number of people here in NE Columbia that aren’t plugged into churches anywhere.  I’m convinced that living at an apartment complex is one of the best things a church planter can do because it is so easy to meet people.  I’m also working on piecing together some key staff people in the coming months so pray that God lead the right people here and that we will have a diverse staff.
• My wife’s chiropractic practice still isn’t open.  About a month ago, the group that was supposed to buy a building to lease to her informed us that they cannot find anything and that we are on our own.  It was a huge shock since they had given no indication that they were having difficulties at all.  We really don’t know what to do right now, so pray for direction for us with this.  Hopefully we can find a building and find a way to afford getting it open.
• I just got a Flip Ultra HD camcorder so this blog will eventually have more video.  It may get interesting.
