Welcome to my newest blog!  My "Perspectives" about Lakeside, this transition we’re in, and the future we’ll share together.

I noticed on the Lakeside website that there was a link to my main blog.  Certainly there you’ll get a good idea about who I am, but I thought that it would be great to provide a place where I might let you in on a little bit more about me, our family, and how I am praying for God to work among us in the future.

You should know right away that I count it an incredible privilege to be selected as your next pastor.  Of course, I understand that it is more than just a selection … in fact, Virginia and I and our children carefully and diligently sought the Lord about this important decision.  I’ll be sharing more about that process in the future.

Some people wonder why in the world I do this ‘blog thing.’  For me it’s a spiritual discipline.  I read and respond to the world in which we live.  I try to engage the culture a bit; challenge others to think ‘missionally’ (more on that later); and finally, it’s my journal.  So if no one read it, I’m all good  with it because here I’m simply expressing my thoughts to my Heavenly Father.

Still –I invite you along for a while.  Listen in.  Stop by every day, or once a week.  I’ll be posting regularly.  And feel free to leave a comment, or ask a question!  I may even post the Question and the Answer  right here!

On the Journey,

Eric
