Pride of a Husband

As someone who has spent considerable time inside of seminary walls, I know personally how challenging and gut-wrenching the process of discernment to ordination can be for anyone.

I can’t express how proud I am of Merianna in all that she’s accomplished in her time at seminary and in her time as a pastor.

If you need any proof of why “I’m amazed” (to paraphrase McCartney), go listen to her Easter Sermon from today at Emmanuel Baptist Fellowship.

It’s been an amazing experience to be able to share part of those experiences with her and I look forward to where her ministry takes her and our family in the coming years.

People like Merianna and the current crop of strong yet humble leaders coming up in the ranks of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship make me excited about our future as a group and the impacts that will be made on our communities as God’s Dream continues to be made real.

Just spent the last hour side loading Google Apps onto my wife’s Kindle Fire HD. Amazing to me that Amazon makes this process so difficult.

Don’t get me wrong, I like most of what Amazon is doing in the media side of things but it has to hurt the Fire platform (tablets, now TV, and soon phones) to make installing Google apps pretty much impossible unless you know or are an Android nerd.

The Great Recession is Not Over

My home county is in dark green. It’s time that I got on the ball with Hunger Initiative.

“The recession has subsided for most Americans but it still hasn’t subsided for low-income Americans. Their situation just has not improved,” he said, adding that it was “probably worse now” because a temporary funding boost in 2009 to the key government food aid program known as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) was allowed to lapse by Congress last year.
