I’ve shared this before, but I remember my dad saying numerous times that God doesn’t call us to churches or jobs as much as He calls us to a city. As a college sophomore my dad drove me to the city limit sign near his new church in O’Fallon, Missouri. We wrapped our arms around that sign and I listened to him pray for the city God had called him to.
Yesterday afternoon on my way into San Jose I parked my old Ford on the side of the road by this sign. I spent a few minutes reflecting on the journey getting to that point, my dad’s words about God’s call to reach a city, and then I prayed for San Jose. Join me in praying for this city. I’m excited that God has invited our family to join Central Christian Church for the purpose of reaching this great city with the gospel.
At the age of 32 I married my best friend, Beth. Thirteen years later we are blessed with two very energetic kids - Jack (12) and Calleigh (9). My wife is a ridiculously good cook who loves hosting dinners in our home, and then I go to the gym to work off the calories. I am an avid reader who appreciates contemplative, Spiritual conversations shared over a cup of coffee. Hobbies and interests include reading and writing, journaling, working out, and St. Louis Cardinal’s baseball.
