We'll Start Here.

It's been almost a year since my wife started her
blogging-or maybe 2-and I've finally given in!

I graduated from Calvin College in 2011 with
a bachelors degree in psychology focusing on
childhood development and a minor in
studio art.

The last place I thought I'd end up
is in ministry.  And by the look on my face,
I was tuckered out anyway from all that school.
God tends to redirect...and redirect...and redirect.....
until we finally get it.  I've been at Sunshine
Community Church located on the NE side
of Grand Rapids, Michigan for a little over a
year now.

This blog will not only be about my work as
a Director of Children's Ministries, but will also
be a journal, if you will, of my life and how God
directs it.  Not only will this blog be a learning experience
for me, but also a testimony to whoever will listen and look,
and a way to record my thoughts and ideas.

You'll see art that I make, art that kids make,
ideas that I've had, ways that God directs, and much more.

To whet your appetite, I think it's appropriate to show you my working buddy.

Yeah, that's Technology-named by a kid at church.  One of the first fun things I did with the kids at Sunshine was a game to name my 3 fish and snail in my office.  The kids had 3 Sundays to write on a giant sheet of paper the names they came up with.  Not only was it super fun to see what the kids would come up with, but it gave them an opportunity to get to know me as their new Children's Ministries Director.  I drew Technology out of about 70 other names.  Seems fitting right?

Anyway, I'll get the hang of this blogging thing soon enough.
