Welcome back. You belong here.

Following the example of my friend Kevin Colón (you should follow him), here are the 10 Things I’ve Learned in 2013 or as my other friend Micah calls it 10 Lessons That Rock:

1. Flu/Bronchitis takes its sweet time to heal

2. Not having a job can be a good thing during #1

3. I enjoy speaking/preaching/communicating

4. God has his own plan which most of the time is 180 degrees from mine

5. I used to think I hated the Church when truly I was hurt by the church. I no longer hate the Church

6. I sometimes think my missional fuel was motivated out of #5

7. Not having insurance is not the end of the world, you just have to work twice as hard to get it

8. Having 2-3 good friends and a good counselor during challenging times has meant everything to me (thank you Josh, Rim, Matt, Jerry). I’m glad for  how they’ve all challenged me

9. Find your own voice, otherwise everyone else will tell you what it should be

10. Christmas is a beautiful time of the year
