About Me

A 51 year old guy who after almost 30 years of ignoring a call has decided to follow it. I'm married to Judy, my high school sweetheart, and can't imagine life without her. I have two wonderful children, Kate and Sammy who have brought great joy to my life. I am looking forward to the next step in my "faithwalk".

update

Greetings to all. I guess it's about time for an update. My previous blogs have been a little vague so I thought I would clear a few things up for you. Or maybe make them muddier.....

First of all I have decided to leave LTSS mid year because of many reasons. I'm currently working on a blog to discuss most of those issues and will post it when I feel it's ready. You should know that I am not leaving my call just listening to what God wants me to do. He called me to serve Him and I believe he has opened a new door and I have stepped through it. I am in the process of enrolling in a different seminary (Institute of Lutheran Theology) which is not your typical "brick and mortar" college. It's an online program that offers a rapid pastoral certification process for 2nd (or 3rd) career people active in congregations. It gives you the opportunity to serve Him in a congregation while attending to your studies. Very cool!

So, because of this, Judy and I are on the move again. Because we can't stay on campus without being a student (funny how that works) we have signed on the dotted line for a short 3 month lease at an apartment complex. We went from a 3 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom apartment and now to a 2 bedroom apartment. I am currently looking at a few different opportunities that are being presented to me by the "Big Guy Upstairs" and look forward to serving Him in the capacity that He wants me to. When I know more, you'll know more.

If you would like my new address shoot me an email and I'll send it your way.

Peace and Grace in this Christmas season,

Greg
