My goal as a pastor is to try and help people have the amazing life that I know that God wants each one of us to have!  It’s not about rules and regulations, it’s about relationship with a God that created us, loves us and desires to bless us!  Northwood is working hard to become the kinda place where you can discover and grow in this incredible and amazing relationship!

I have decided to take the blog in a new direction starting today!  I am going to try and blog everyday with the dual purpose of motivating and encouraging you that read and in keeping myself accountable to you!  I have things in my life that I need to work on and make better – areas that I can improve in, that would cause my life to be more enjoyable to me and others!  If we are all honest – we all have areas of our life that we need to work on!  Starting today I am challenging each of us to really start thinking about these areas for improvement!  I am serious – right now, make a commitment today to take 10 – 30 minutes to really think about your life and how it could be and should be better!  Think about what you can do to make it better!  Once you start thinking in the right direction – make a list of things that you will begin to work on!  Feel free to comment by clicking comment under the title up above and let me know where you are on your journey and how I might be able to help!

P.S.  A big thing that may seem small that I am working on this week is less carbonation- it really needs to be no carbonated drinks and a whole lot of water!  Did you know that we are supposed to take our body weight and divide it by two – to get the ounces of water that we need to drink?  So far, so good today – I am already floating!
