Still Alive!

I’ve been away from blog-land for some time now. The nursery is taking up a lot of my time and I am preaching in view of a call with a church here in Alexandria for the entire month of September. I will be a bi-vocational pastor and both the church and I felt it would be a good idea to “get to know each other’ before we proceed. I am excited and have preached two services so far. They seem to be a great group of people I am excited about the possibilities ahead of me.

I returned from my Asia trip really pumped and excited. I will be taking a group of university students back to Asia next July (07) to work on a couple campuses there. I am limited on what I can say about the trip so I can only say it went really, really, really well! I worked with my friends Y & S and enjoyed their fellowship.

I've been "book" tagged by Ken Sorrell. Ken is a gifted teacher and was one of our leaders in Mexico. He writes a blog dealing with missiological issues and you can check it out here.

Here is my list.

1. One book that changed your life: The Tower Treasure by Franklin W Dixon (My first read and the first of the The Hardy Boy’s Adventure Series) OK, a little corny but true – it introduced me to reading as a boy and I have not stopped since.
2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Night by Elie Wiesel
3. One book I’d want on a desert island: "Don’t Waste Your Life", John Piper.
4. One book that made me laugh: Any Calvin and Hobbes comic book
5. One book that made me cry: Cry? Who me?
6. One book that you wish you had written: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
7. One book you wish had never been written: Leadership by Rudolph Giuliani – A waste of good reading time.
8. One book that you are currently reading: Brothers, We are NOT Professionals by John Piper (Reading all of Piper’s stuff in September.)
9. One book that you’ve been meaning to read: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
