So, how was your day?  Mine…not too shabby.

I posted my first entry on our church leadership Life Journal blog.  Some of us staffers are posting our thoughts as they flow out of our daily time with God.  It’s not meant to be a “let me impress you with my teaching” page, but rather a place to post what God is teaching us as we dig into his word.  Coincidentally, the passage that spoke to me is Psalm 1, which was the text for my first sermon as the youth pastor at Hill Street Baptist Church in beautiful Toccoa, GA.

I taught on baptism tonight at XStream.  There were a couple of middle school students who expressed an interest in being baptized.  We’re supposed to have outdoor baptisms this weekend at our Fall Fest.  The weatherman is calling for snow for the next 4 days in Happy Valley, so that should make the outdoor part interesting!

But most significant of all, I had a great conversation with my 14 year old son tonight.  It was the most grown-up talk we’ve ever had.  He shared his heart with me and asked some really well-thought-out questions, and it was a beautiful moment.  It’s the kind of thing that I have been praying for, and I believe that God is opening doors for me with Levi.  I am blessed to be his dad.
