New Beginnings

They happen. For everyone. There are many different kinds, of course. The past 6+ months have been full of them for me without doubt. There are more coming down the pike. This new blog is by far the least among them, also without doubt. I've never been much of a blogger, as the few readers of my oft-neglected Xanga site can attest to. Maybe I'll update this shiny, new blog a little more often. Maybe.

On Monday, I will officially set sail into the sea that is professional sports...no, not as an athlete. On Monday I will begin an internship with the Southern Illinois Miners, a minor league baseball team in the independent Frontier League. I'm pretty excited about it. Most that know me also know that I'm a big baseball fan, making this a great opportunity, albeit a low-paying one (cue part time job to help pay the bills). Here's to hoping this "opportunity" turns into "full-time opportunity." That's what my Alice and I are praying for, anyway. We're following this rabbit down this crazy hole, at least for now.

We know that we are where the Lord wants us to be; here in Carbondale, and at Lakeland. We've been blessed with church family that loves God unashamedly and is striving for obedience in making Him known to all peoples. We've been blessed with many new friends, brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Beginnings can be exciting. I'll try to keep you posted on how the party goes.
