Warsaw. Fort Wayne. Burlington. Colorado. California. What more can I say? Only a few short years ago we sat next to one another, a small group in a Drury class (Jon and Zach (RIP Nate)), trying to figure out where we'd copy and paste more Christian themed images from the internet to fill the pages of a book we've hopefully glanced at at least once or twice since. And now we're entrusted with the lives, spiritual and physical, of Jr. and Sr. High students. Yikes.
The past months I've been thoroughly enjoying life as a youth pastor and married man and I hope you have as well. Although I've formed great relationships with the staff at my church and the parents of the students here, I miss you guys. I miss living in a house with like-minded ministry students, sharing ideas, frustrations and encouragements (insults too), and playing smash bros while adam tried to sleep. I created this blog in an attempt to better stay connected with you guys, as well as anyone else who might benefit from a forum of this sort. Lately I've come across tons of articles I'd like to share, events I'm thinking about, ideas for sermons, etc, that 18 months ago I could bounce of you whenever I felt like it. Not being able to do that as easily now, I hope this blog will help facilitate the discussion that I miss on a regular basis.
No pressure. If you're not a blogger, or even a blog reader, that's fine. If this thing dies in a month, I won't be offended. Just an attempt to stay connected with you guys and benefit from multiple IWU ministry degrees instead of just one. Let me know your thoughts.

Lossing my salvation through BLOGS!
OK, there is no doubt that I am in, but I have to admit I'm new to this whole blog thing and that was very obvious to me about 5 secs ago. I wanted to make this post and let you all know that i am "In," so i clicked a button at the top of the page that said "new blog." Next thing I know, I shoved through the realms of cyber space and end up on some blog entitled "ME AND MY FANTICIES."
:( So Now I need your prayer b/c my salvation is in jeopordy all b/c of this "blog"
Love you guys ans miss ya ALOT!!!!
That's awesome Pudge. However don't think that excuse will work when explaining to Becca why "Me and my fanticies" shows up on your online history.
Whenever you read this, try to post again. I just gave you administrator rights so you should be able to hit "new post" on the main blog (assuming you're signed in) and be all set.
The Sawyer House Clergy and Friends are my personal fantasy, so I have no problems here.
