7 Things (100th Post Edition)

I made my 100th post to this blog a couple of days ago in my "pursuit of a dream" (remember that wall, Springfielders?) to blog about my life, my faith and my years in youth ministry for 365 consecutive days.  I have enjoyed the writing, even on the days when it has been a challenge.  I have loved hearing from old friends and former students through comments, the guestbook, e-mails and Marilyn's Facebook page.  I have enjoyed putting into print many of the stories I have been telling for years.  Most importantly, I have enjoyed expressing how God has blessed even a sinner like me for over 50 years!  Today I wanted to give you a chance to catch up a bit.  Below are links to 7 of my favorite older posts.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

• So Here's The Deal   The first posting explains it all
• Six On Six      The story of the near "gang fight" in Atlanta, 1982
• Old Friends    Growing up with some of the best friends anyone ever had
• Sand, Water, Sand Water...   A Myrtle Beach tradition begins
• Shine On!     Let your life reflect Jesus to others
• Quaker Lake Jacket    Working at QLC changed my life
• Sunday Dinner     My introduction to Springfield and the Rees family

So go ahead, read all you want!  There is plenty more to come.  And remember, this blog exists to give glory to God for the blessings He has given me.  I hope that always shines through, even in the silliness!  May each of you have a blessed week.

Because of Jesus,
