Here I am again at Coffee Culture, opening the shop. Unfortunately this time I also closed the shop last night and didn't get home until 11:30, getting up at 4:25 this morning. A short night. But, all is well and I am blessed to even have employment and income unlike many around the world today. So, in all things, rejoice, even short nights and lots of hours at a coffee shop.

There's lots going on for us this week. We head to Tennessee on Wednesday for the Parmenter (mom's side) family reunion which is always a lot of fun. So in this short week we've got lots to get done here in Gainesville. We continued worshipping at Harvest Christian Church yesterday and are beginning to feel more at home there. They are without a minister right now and I may get the opportunity to preach a few times which is an exciting proposition and something I enjoy. I love to study God's word and try to share what I learn with others in the hopes that we can learn together. It is amazing to me how God's character can be discovered in the Bible. For me, more than anything, that is what the Bible is, a story revealing who God is in the world and how He works, even today. Some call it instructions, others a story, many fiction. I believe its truth that helps us discover Truth. I hope you are on a journey today and if your journey intersects with the Bible, that you'll give it a chance to speak to you about who God is and what He's done and IS doing in the world and in our lives. Have a great week!

Joel,

I pray that you will continue to allow God to use you in this ministry at the church. Keep us informed how it is going.
