selling out.

January 21 13 Comments Category: Uncategorized

How do you like the new blog?  I’ve wanted to do something different now for some time, but didn’t know how. Luckily my friend Brad, at Big Hype Media, helped me get something down and working. If you want a sweet new blog, and someone to host it, then this company is for you.  They do great work and are inexpensive!

Just to make matters clear, I loved my old blog, but it didn’t have the cool vibe to it that I think this one does. I guess you could say I “sold out” to try to be cool. Did it work?  If not, then please don’t answer. :)

The bottom line for me is that I have decided that the year of 2010 is going to be a life-changing year for me. I’m going to be more intentional in my efforts to love the people around me. I’m going to care and do for my community in ways that I haven’t in the past. I’m going to share my faith more.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Aren’t you a pastor?” Aren’t you doing these things already? Well, I’m trying to, but the truth is, I could be doing better. As much as I have “sold out” to being a follower of Christ, I haven’t really “sold out” to mimicking him. So here’s to a new me. The me that is looking past myself and selling out to the ways of Jesus. Have you sold out?
