Last weekend, after graduation, my whole family went to Disney…We left Sunday mid-morning and spent the whole day in the Magic Kingdom. It was indeed magical. First of all, it doesn’t get much better than Disney at Christmas. Secondly, we have little kids in the family again. Taylor, Charlotte, and Andrew had a great time! Kristin and I really enjoy Space Mountain, and the newly renovated Pirates of the Caribbean. They’ve changed it so that it goes along with the new movies. Plus, I found a killer Goofy hat on the Runaway Railroad!

Why? A number of reasons. Mostly because this time of year Kristin showcases her amazing abilities as a graphic designer. Some of you may remember last year’s snowman picture. This year, Kristin has really stretched herself artistically. This may be hard to believe, but she actually does all of this in “paint”.

Today, I graduated from Southeastern University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Pastor Ministry. I am quite relieved to finally be out of school and excited to see what “the real world” has to offer. My time at Southeastern was great, and it’s surreal now that it’s all over. The ceremony was good, and it was great to have all of my family in town. Tomorrow we’re all heading to Disney World for a day of family enjoyment. I’m sure it will be funtastic. As for now, I’m going to bed. Ir’s been a long day. After graduation the whole fam had lunch together and then drove to Sarasota for church.  Special thanks to my mom and dad for always being amazing.  Also, a huge thanks to my beautiful wife, Kristin. It’s hard enough to be an over committed, full time college student, it’s way harder to be married to one.  And here’s to you, Southeastern. It’s been fun.

Kristin and I will be moving to Sarasota in early January. I have accepted a position as the worship leader at Victory @ Sarasota. I’ve been leading worship there since January. Here’s a little background:

Last Christmas I received a voicemail from a guy named Brian Gibbs. He mentioned that he had recently pioneered a church in Sarasota and that he needed someone to fill in leading worship for a couple of weeks. I began “filling in” the first week of January and have been there ever since.
