We Jumped Out of the Boat!

I've been offline for a couple months except for my iPhone. I am still searching for the wireless adapter for my desktop. It's probably buried deep in a box with our cast iron skillets or maybe it fell off the U Haul. I finally confiscated T.J.'s net-book to blog. We moved this June. We didn't just move...we got out of the boat. We were comfortable. I was comfortable. I didn't want to go into full-time ministry if it meant moving around often. We were happy near our family and friends. Then God made us so uncomfortable that we were ready to get out of the boat. Honestly, we were ready to do a running cannonball. I wonder what would have happen to Peter if he had jumped out of the boat and ran to Jesus instead of just walking.

Anyway we packed up our junk things into the biggest U Haul ever and two more trailers, said goodbye to our family, three church families, and friends and moved to Dayton, TN. You see, God had gone years ahead of us (as he always does). He had prepared the way by placing friends and Pastor Ken and Phyllis here in Dayton. God and all the amazing people at First UMC Dayton provided amazingly for our family. There is plenty of crazy story to tell about our journey. I leave you with this for now: It's 45 minutes to the nearest Hobby Lobby or Target, but we love it here!
