Well…I’m back. If you have been checking the blog the last few weeks I apologize for my absence. But, as many of you know, my life drastically changed on January 3rd as Holly and I received an incredible gift from God in our second child, a daughter, Kegan Lane. I try to remind myself that we are only the trillionth couple to be taking care of an infant all day long and all through the night while at the same time chasing a two year old energizer bunny of a son through out the day. It was my birthday on Saturday and Holly asked me what I wanted and I said a nap. I received one of the most beautiful gifts that Holly has ever given me as I slept from 1pm to 4pm on that day. I never knew that I would covet a nap so badly. I know, I know that the majority of you are snickering as you read thinking to yourself, been there done that. But it is so fresh for me. I just keep telling myself, this too shall pass.

Although I have been obviously very busy I have been diligent about staying in the Word these last few weeks. At the new year a large portion of our staff and I have begun reading through the same Bible together. We would love for you to do it with us. If you want to pick it up you can get it at cbd.com. It is called the Daily Walk Bible. If you are a regular to the blog I would encourage you to do so because most of my blogs this year will be coming from my devotional time in this Bible. So far it has been very encouraging talking with the staff about what we are learning because we are doing it together. I have already learned so much because as I read God points out one thing to me but as others read he guides them to different insights. So, I am not only learning what God is directly sharing with me in my time but also what he is teaching others. My learning curve has been greatly multiplied! I am looking forward to meeting you here next Monday as I begin to share what God is teaching me through this journey.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
