First Post

It is December 26, 2009 and I am starting my first blog.

This Blog will be about how I balance the demands of being a Supply Chain Manager at a manufacturing plant and a man called to do God's work. I am not currently a Pastor, but I know God is guiding me in that direction.

Today after a long break I have applied for a Pastor position! In 2006 I was hurt by a Pastor I trusted and I stayed away from applying for a ministry position since. Don't get me wrong I have volunteered at every church I have been at. I have just kept myself from risking being hurt again. The last couple of years have been a time of healing, especially this year. This year we have spent our time at New Hope Missionary Church here in Jackson, MI. I have been active in the Sunday service and Alexis and I have started a Bible study in our home. It feels great to be teaching the Word again and celebrating with other believers. Spending this time teaching and fellowshipping has reminded me that this is what God has called me to do. While I may not hear anything about the position I applied for, that is ok. Just applying for the position was a huge step in remembering He is in control.

My prayer and desire is that in 2010 I find exactly where God wants me to be.

Blessings to All!

Get Your Christmas On! We all need it!

Those that know me well, know that I love celebrating Christmas and everything it really stands for. They also know that I don't start celebrating it until the day after Thanksgiving.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Savior, I love that His birth was the beginning of so many great things that changed me and saved my life. But for the past 40 plus years I wanted to celebrate one holiday at a time and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite. Good food, family, and friends and I did not want to skip over it, I want to enjoy every minute of Thanksgiving.  That being said, I think the world needs more Christmas.  Turn on the news and you will hear about people being shot, police officers being targeting, crime on the rise, and so much more. The hatred that is being spewed by one group of people because you don't agree with them, and the hatred that is being shot back. The tension is high due to race, violence, sexual orientation, religion, politics, and just about anythi...

Should Religion be Taught in Public Schools - Written by my 14 year old son.

Following is a paper written by my 14 year old son, Chris. He thought about the topic, did the research, and came to his own conclusions. I am very proud of him, his thought process, and the decisions he is making. I told him that I was proud of him and wanted to share this on my blog and he said ok. God Bless, Robert Should World Religion Be Taught In Public Schools? There are nineteen major religions in the world, and these are some of the known religions: Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormon, Sikhism, Baha’ism, Confucianism, Jainism, and Shintoism. A religion is considered a major religion based on the number of followers. For an example, Sikhism has a following of twenty- three million people, and Shintoism has a following of 4 million. While Christianity, one of the most popular religions, has 2.1 billion followers. With this many religions and their conflicting views, religion should not be taught in public school. The reason why religion should not be taug...
