But I am in that valley called burn out. Stretched between a full-time family, and a full-time job, and full-time school. The last five months have especially been kicking my butt. But I see the light. I'll get there. One foot at a time. So I'm really feeling this. Thanks for the pep talk.

You gotta get a little wild sometimes...

I'm talking about a 4 hour, afro-centric, 30+ person gospel choir, 2+ offerings per service, keyboard riffs mid-sermon, take off running when the Spirit hits you kind of joint in the inner city. I learned to dominate at Bible trivia... Midway through high school, my parents let me explore for myself and I found Jesus before college with a United Methodist youth group. Went off to Penn State and got plugged into a C&MA church where I did a lot of growing up spiritually. I ended up taking a job in my hometown at that same Methodist church leading worship & doing student ministry. I'm going on nine years of Jesus transforming my life.
