Hey John,
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll.
I also wanted to let you know that your link to subscribe by RSS is incorrect. You have a quote (“) on the tail end that causes it to be a bad link. Feel free to email me if this does not make sense…
Hope you don’t mind my adding you to my blogroll. I enjoy reading your insights. Bryan
John,
I remember the go ole days at Southco, hanging parts on racks building up huge black boogers for harvesting after the bell rang. Wanna hear something funny? I’m planting a church in about 9months. I’m a youth pastor now at http://www.gracefamilychurch.org but in the spring they are sending Kelly and I out to start a new work about 15 minutes north of the church. We are excited and scared. We are planting with the help of A.R.C. (association of related churches http://www.relatedchurches.com) Shoot me an email or something so we can catch up.

I love the new header pic! You look like a nascar driver!!
Nice to find you! Peace.
Hi John, I read your article of 30-12-2009 and I’m touched by your insight. I’m shifting from traditional church to simple church as beeing part of a small church in Heimberg, Switzerland. As Wolfgang Simson says for years: We have to give birth to gods intentions in our own culture and not just copy the way other people do it in other places. That’s the hard task! I’ll read on in your blog. God bless you!

Hi John, I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your gift of the bible to my children. That was over 15 years ago and Richard has shredded his from overuse. You were a terrific example to them.
