sojourn pastor

Dream no small dreams, for they have no power to move the hearts of men

I like these days …

Today has been Jordyn and my “extemporaneous” day home. Last night she wasn’t feeling well. At 6am this morning, with my eyes still closed, I suggested to Kelly that maybe Jordyn should stay home “just in case” she was contagious. Then I volunteered to skip work and stay home with Jordyn for the day. I’d like to believe I was being as altruistic as possible, but really I just wanted extra sleep. It turns out she’s been fine and it was probably the pizza she ate for dinner after Sojourn.

We’ve spent the day watching a Clifford marathon. Clifford runs for several hours in the morning … I didn’t know that. And after two pieces of toast and a glass of Gatorade we’ve been to the bank, BJ’s, and Target. Now were having “rest time” and getting ready for her big brother’s baseball game.

If I look at my list of things to do, I’ve accomplished very little. But, I like these days.

About The Author

I married way out of my league. And I am aware of that every day. Kelly loves me, even the worst of me … like the “1st thing in the morning me”; and the “I hate being stuck in traffic me”; and she even loves the “but I only want to lay on the couch and watch TV me”. She’s my daily demonstration of grace – unmerited favor! I have three great kids – Nathan, Carissa, & Jordyn. They are the best parts of me – wow, thanks for that God, cause there weren’t a lot of good parts to work with! I’m the associate pastor @ HOPE Church. That’s my “day job”. At night … I’m the lead pastor @ Sojourn. I have the good fortune to share my life with the broken, the scallywags, and the marginalized; which works especially well because I am one of them. I love and lead a rag tag community of people who consistently demonstrate Deuteronomy 4:29 … “You will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Sojourn is a community of Gen-Xers who have a desire to connect with those who have never gone to church – the “unchurched” and those who have given up on church – the “overchurched”.
