Month: December 2011

A lot of things have happened to me in 2011. When I started this blog, I intended to write periodically throughout the year, but, as you can see, that didn’t quite work out as planned. Here I am at the end of the year now writing this update to explain that I got distracted with trying to keep up with all the other tasks I’d committed to, and I promptly forgot about blogging.

Well, today — New Year’s Eve — is a great day to make a resolution for a fresh start in 2012. Since I’ve put in for retirement from the United Methodist Church, effective 31 December 2011 (that’s today!), and since I’ll be retiring from the Alabama Army National Guard at the end of February 2012, this leaves me with plenty of time to work on establishing a new pastoral ministry which I believe God has directed me to do, and maybe — just maybe — I’ll have a little more time and opportunity to blog a bit more often. We shall see.

At any rate, I’m truly excited to embark on this new direction in my ministry, and I truly look forward to sharing all about it with you as I write here in my blog. Stay tuned for more to come! Until then, let me be among the first to wish you a most blessed and prosperous New Year in 2012.
