My Plans? Looking up!

Wow, I just looked at how long it has been since I last wrote. Six months, that’s a while. Anyway, I’m back. I plan to be a little more faithful to the blog this year. So let’s have a look at what’s happened in the last six months.

1. I’m getting out of the real estate business to focus more on what God has really called me to do. (Let’s face it, this isn’t the ideal time anyway!)

2. I’m still working for LG Electronics, with an expanded territory this year. (Woo Hoo! Positive note: the job will take me to Vegas at least twice this year. Good thing? Yes, but that’s for another blog.)

3. And the drumroll………I’m planting a church in Des Moines. What does this mean for the blog you ask? Well, ChurchFuse will also serve as a journal for the progress of the church plant, not just the fun little project it has been for exploring with and helping pastors find new ways to use technology to help the church.

4. With this new endeavor, that means I also am shutting down ChurchForward and the Thrive Web Group to fully focus on the plant, whose name is known to a select few but will stay mostly quiet until we actually launch and really won’t be a big surprise to anyone who knows me.

That leaves the last questions to be about the new church itself. What kind of church will it be, what will it believe, will it be an Assembly of God church? Great questions you’re asking. To answer, 1. a great church with a very specific focus, 2. It will believe most of the A/G doctrine, but not all, and 3. Since not all A/G doctrine (you know, the 16 Fundys that every A/G church has on it’s website, I’m in the web industry, I’ve seen them) will be observed, it will not be an A/G church. Non-denom, one of my favorites. Sorry to all my A/G faithfuls out there.

I’m really excited about this, God’s been dealing with me about it for a while and I’ve been struggling with how He wants it all to come together, but it’s been falling into place. How awesome is that? Anyway, time to pick up the beautiful wife, talk to you later.
