An Open Note to All Readers

Ok, a couple of people I know have done this since they also work for churches and have personal blogs. So... here goes.

1. Every thought expressed here is my own unless I quote someone else or give them credit for the idea. My thoughts and opinions may not be the same as County Line Baptist Church, it's staff, my senior pastor, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, or anyone else related to the church. I also must say the same things in regards to the American Taekwondo Association.

2. This is a personal site. I'll try to keep negative thoughts out, but sometimes, bad things happen. As a Christian, I believe that hard times can give us the strength to become who God wants us to be. When you read this blog, you will be getting me, in raw form.

3. I am a Christian. I make no apolgies for that. My entire worldview is shaped by my belief in God, the Bible, and what that will create me to be.

4. Please feel free to comment, even if you disagree with me. I love to talk to people, so I will try to respond as much as I can.

Who You Calling Reverend?

Talk about a very long but good day. I've been fighting off this cold for four days now. Thanks be to God, though, that I was able to keep my voice long enough to make it through the service this morning. Picking a lot of low register songs probably helped that.

Anyway, that wasn't the important part of the day. You are reading the blog of the newest ordained pastor in the Southern Baptist Church. That's right, I am now Rev. Daron . Not that I will use that title very much, but still. I am so glad that God put me in a church that, even though we have had some differences, wants to do things to help me grow as a minister.

I don't think that this did anything different that what I've already been doing. Someone asked me, "Do you feel like a minister?" I told him, "I always did." This is my church validating what God has already made clear.

I Hate Colds!

Why do I always get a cold at the worst possible time? My finacee is in town this weekend and I can't even come close to her, becuase I don't want her to get it. :( I can't afford to get sick right now! Not to mention, I have my ordaining counsel tomorrow and want to be able to talk in my normal voice and not the contrabass that I've been all day long.

Went to see Saw II today. Freaky. Nuff said.

Yesterday, I was in the laundromat and this little (maybe 2) Mexican girl was with her obviously non-English speaking mother. Then a family came in with a little two-year-old boy. Although they were of different cultures, one thing brought them together...Neither of them knew how to talk yet. The little girl offered "un cheeto" to the boy who gratefully accepted. They babbled on with each other and played like they were best friends. The language and cultural barriers meant nothing to these two. Maybe we can learn something from them.
