Back when I joined this website 10 years ago life was different than now. I remember joining so that I could talk about Final Fantasy VII with others while I was in class. Over time I would join in the religious debates of Off Topic. I had no idea who I would be today.

Life is exciting and God has been more gracious to me than I deserve. Life has had its ups and downs since I joined and I am in one of those high periods of life. As a simple example, just over the last few days I have walked along the ocean shore with my beautiful girlfriend, I have laughed with friends and family, and I was given the opportunity to be a guest preacher at a local church.

I do not know where life is going to take me but I am excited to see where it will go. I am blessed and I hope to be a good steward with those blessings by being appreciative and thankful for all things.

With regard to this past Sunday, I was asked to preach at a local church. This church's attendence was about 200 people being not only the largest congregation that I have preached to but this is the first time I was asked to preach in a church that was not my own. The pastor of this church was even so kind and gracious to me as to invite leaders of other churches in the area of themselves are in search of a pastor. I am not certain that a church position will come of it but I was at the very least blessed with the opportunity.

Just because I have grown to know so many of you here I am providing a link to any who might be interested in viewing my sermon. Expect to see a nervous guy who stumbles over his words. I am not yet perfect in my craft. I am not yet comfortable in front of crowds. Even still, I am satisfied with the result of my efforts. It's not perfect but I seek to speak of one who is perfect.
