About Brian 

January 20, 2008

This week we'll reach a couple of thresholds. I've been told that if you can stick to something for 21 days you're well on your way to forming a habit. I guess making a "habit" out of being in the Bible everyday isn't the right verbiage but sticking to something this long is worth noting. Another milestone is that we'll complete the book of Genesis and move forward into Exodus. You did it. Your first book is complete!

In other news, one of our moderators was married on Saturday. Our hopes and prayers cover you Deb. We are supremely happy and grateful for your help here and your service to the King for the Kingdom is inspiring. Blessings on you.

We'll be doing some traveling in the coming weeks so pack your bags. One way or another I am going to find me some snow!!! It actually snowed here in Nashville a couple of days ago and the trees and hillsides were white but it was evening and there was no sunlight. Before the sun rose it had turned to rain and there was nothing left to remind us but the dying snowmen in all the yards. Sometimes I feel like those snowmen. The snow comes and I am washed white and invigorated and ready to take whatever comes my way but when the temperatures rise and the rain comes I feel like melting. Thankfully I'm not alone and neither are you but that still isn't justification to fade away. God calls us to something deeper and greater than ourselves and we must finish well. That's something that I find over and over in the Bible. Finish strong. You and I are pressing forward to completing our first month together this year. This is the begining of new things. Let's walk together because it is in community that we can actually achieve the goal of finishing strong.

Onward Comrades,

Brian
