We have been called...

The days of transition are almost over for Keith, Lucas, Billy-dog, and me, praise the Lord. As of Sunday, Oct. 25th, we were extended a call to be the co-pastors of First Presbyterian Church, La Grande, Oregon, and we are unbelievably thrilled at this opportunity.

It has been a long couple of months of waiting, as this call process has worked itself out. Since we left Monroe, LA at the end of August, we have visited Dallas and Amarillo, TX; Parker, CO; Powell, WY; and now, Vancouver, WA/Portland, OR. A lot of traveling, but a good time of reflection, discernment, and quiet preparation for this new step in our lives, becoming pastors of a church. We will officially begin serving the church on Nov. 9th.

I hope to return to a more regular practice of blogging when we are settled in at La Grande and our internet access becomes more regular.

Thanks for everyone who has prayed us through our seminary studies, internship, and now transition into pastoral ministry. It has been an exciting journey, and a new era is about to begin!
