Greetings!!!

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on this blog. I'm thinking about putting up some of my thoughts and journey. A few updates:

• I just completed my 5th week of Summer Greek at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. 2 weeks to go and I will have completed 2 semesters of Koine Greek in 7 weeks. WHEW!!!
  
• I got married to the beautiful, Ashley Lucky, on May 28, 2011 in Crystal Springs, MS.
• Last weekend I started the GO Network. This will be a 9-month program with a 6-8 hour intensive one Saturday a month. Ashley and I are really looking forward to investigating our call to plant a church and we are really looking forward to using this process to equip and confirm our dream.
• We are living on campus at RTS and are really encouraged by some of the other students and their wives here.
• I read through the Book of Mark this week. It is so cool to read about the life of Jesus and see how much He really challenged culture and also the religious norms of the day. He claimed to be God. I have come to the conclusion that He was God. Because I feel that He is God, He is therefore LORD of my life. I serve my best Friend.

Well that's all for now...
