We leave Fairbanks tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and I will be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow evening, and then back to “The Grind”. I use that word facetiously,  because I really love my life, my job, my routine, and responsibilities, and am very anxious to get back to “The Grind”. On October 22nd, Saturday evening Jefferson Baptist Church is going to have a celebration honoring Patty and I for our 40 years of serving at the church as Pastor. The last 40 years have been an amazing blessing of being able to serve in a church as great as JBC. No church is without some problems as no family is, but God has done some really great things through the people in our church because of our love for Him and for each other. It truly has been a fun, exciting life as Pastor of JBC. I am looking forward to even more adventure and accomplishments that bless people in the years ahead. Who knows, maybe God will give me another 20 years serving. I would like that.
