Kristan and I have spent the last 5 1/2 years serving as lead pastors at NorthGate Church of the Nazarene. Here are just some of my favorite things...
10. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the church with former pastors and families
9. Ministry to people and seeing God move to help and change them
8. Participating in life's passages such as marriages, baby dedications, baptisms and funerals (can you believe the Benson boys finally got married! Most painful to me was saying goodbye to Emma Simpkins - see you soon)
7. Preaching the Word - nothing greater than trying to communicate God's heart for people
6. Doing church at the movie theater - thanks for leaving the 99 so we can search for the 1
5. Getting healthy - I found a safe atmosphere to get physically healthy and strengthen my marriage
4. Taking trips - Mexico, Mt Whitney, Uganda, Grand Canyon rim to rim and Ireland!
3. Learning about leadership and loving people by teaching, practicing our faith and finishing my B.A.
2. Raising my family - Kennedy was 2 and Kristan was 8 months pregnant with Jameson when we came. NorthGate was a great introduction to my kids
1. People - Thanks for your love, support, patience and forgiveness. We love you too!!!
