2006 in Retrospect

As I look back over 2006, I have many things with which to be thankful. In January, I began attending and joined my present Home Group, presently led by Scott “Hungry Jack” Ayers (after a lengthy interview with Brandon Jung at the New Years Eve party, where I met other Home Group members, Marshall Embry, Bryan Adams, and Corey Long). In March, I became a covenant member of my present place of worship and became active in serving in the Welcome and New Members’ Class ministries. The Lord led me to begin accountability relationships with Brandon, then Scott (after Brandon moved to Chicago) and close friendships with Brandon, Scott, Kate Shackelford (Brandon’s girlfriend) and Phillip Bleecker. In December, I began receiving counseling from C3: The Center for Christian Counseling. And, last but certainly not least, one of my dearest and good friends, Wayne Stiles, began his own Website, blog and podcast (see links to those on the left!) and I am absolutely thrilled to death about the possibilities of what God has in store for him through those communicative tools! All in all, it has been a good year.
