2008 has come and gone! 2008 was a wild year of change both personally and politically for our country. I have read several articles talking about what a year 2008 was for the sports world. The Celtics win the NBA title, The New York Giants beat the seemingly unbeatable New England Patriots, The 2008 Summer Olympic Games with their amazing stories, Micheal Phelps, Kansas - Memphis in the NCAA basketball Championships, Racco and Tiger at the US Open, and on and on we could go about the amazing year in sports we can go. Outside of the sports world, it was also a crazy year. We saw the US slip into a resession, Barak Obama was elected president, and on and on we could go (I am not a huge news junkie and can not remember all the things that have happened this past year).It has been a great year of change for me as well. In the Spring of the year I left my job as a youth director to follow God's calling on my life to becoming a Minister of Word and Sacrament by attending Seminary. I relocated from East Tennessee, a place I have lived for the better part of seven years, to a place I had only visited, Atlanta. I also asked my girlfriend of two years to merry me and begin a life together. I have also survived the two semesters of seminary (summer Greek school being the most difficult). And now I look ahead to what 2009 holds.
2009 is looking to be a wonderful year of more change, more growing and being challenged, as well as the coming joy of getting married and beginning my life together with my soon to be wife!
