Car Abuse

My Toyota Corrolla is an ‘06.  I’ve owned it for a little over 2 years.  It’s about to bust 100,000 miles.  Some may call this car abuse.  I call it driving in the fast lane.  Thank God for the good gas mileage!

I’m on my way to do a concert in Titusville, FL for my dear friends Gary and Lori Ginn, their church and associates.  My life is split in three, maybe four, different directions.  I’m the proud Pastor of Centerpoint Church in Tallahassee, FL.  Rebirth International’s office and a house that I own and have for sale are in New Orleans, LA.  And I’m on the road periodically keeping the vision alive for incarnational ministry among the poor.  The fourth direction, if you can call it that, is the sharing of this journey with my amazing family - who occupy all of my most quality time.

Lindsay’s doing well at Tallahassee Community College.  She’s making good grades and aspiring to own her own car - oh my!

Lacey is at Godby High School - a majority black high school in West Tallahassee.  She is my family evangelist and gatherer.  She’s invited literally dozens of her friends to Youth Group, church, Young Life and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Maggie is in middle school - seems to be liking it - but she’s in that pre-teen mode where she doesn’t enjoy chatting with her Dad as much…

Manning is in the 4th grade and still creating home-made bows and arrows to shoot at his Dad.

Ellen, my dear wife of 22 years, is happy, contented and thankful.

I’m a little tired, but in the best possible way.  It’s the kind of tired that makes ya proud at night and eager in the morning.  It’s been a load of fun to enter into the lives of many here in Tally and inspire them toward Christ-centered missional living.

I’m falling behind in some of my obligations, need help and assistance, but am entirely committed to finishing the task.

Shane and Kristen Fast are a couple of months away from launching Rebirth: East St. Louis.  This is exciting.

I’ve been busy in the vacant spaces to speak at retreats, perform concerts, meet with prospective ministry leaders, teach classes and raise money for Rebirth.  We’re making plans for classes and internships this Fall, Spring and Summer.

Keep us all in your prayers as I’m putting a few more miles on this dusty wagon.  And thank you for continuing to contribute to the cause of Rebirth!
