Okay, so for the past couple of days as I have started getting back into the blogging habit, I have double posted devotional thoughts on both this blog and on the blog I originally had set up for devotional type thoughts. The name of that blog is Putting It Blountly which is an obvious play on the (mis)pronunciation of my last name. So, this blog will go back to mostly being inane ramblings about life in general, and the other blog will have more of the devotional feel to it. Don't say that you haven't been warned!
Speaking of inane life-happenings...had a "Power Lunch" with Jim Adams of Sebastian Christian Church and Ron Matthews of Southside Christian Church of Fort Pierce today. Food at the Olive Garden was wonderful, and the company was even better. It is so nice to get to hang out with some guys who want to see teens in our area connect with other Christian teens who don't happen to attend the same congregation. One of the things I have missed the most in the 8 1/2 years I have lived in Florida is a sense of camaraderie among Restoration Movement Churches. There are a number of reasons why this hasn't happened to this point, none of which are of any concern to me. This is a new year and there is a new hope (and attitude) that encourages me. Ron, Jim, and I even have our next "Power Lunch" scheduled. Oh, I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to...well you get the point. *grin*
My prayer is that from this tiny band of motley guys can grow a regional network of Restoration Movement churches deciding and desiring to do more events together. It is good for the students, and it brings honor to our Lord.
As Rich Mullins would say:

My dear brother, God is using you and speaking through you in order that His will, His good and perfect will be done. I don't know if anyone could have put it any better. I too am excited for the new brothers I have connected with. It is evident to me that you both have a great Love for the Lord and for the students you minister to. But I have to tell you that I am even more excited about connecting with the youth in our community that do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This unity I believe is anointed by God will be so impactful that Satan is already trying to figure out how to shut us down. Be on gaurd my brothers and do not let him try to mingle in our business of doing God's will. We will press on together and we will have the Favor of the Almighty.
Because of Christ,
Jim
