Out for a week
I've been a little busy with the new job stuff. Perhaps my last pastoral obligation for Covenant Baptist Church is being the camp pastor for the Southwest Baptist Youth Camping Association. SWBYC is made up of a number of progressive Baptist Churches in Texas. Two of our churches have been thrown out of the Baptist General Convention of Texas because of their open attitudes toward homosexuals.
I'm proud of these churches for standing by their beliefs, even if other Baptists disagree.
Our Church has been going to youth camp with these churches for 4 years now. Pastors in the churches take turns serving as camp pastor.
I'll be preaching each night to several hundred kids. It's quite a challenge for anyone. Somehow you have to be interesting, easy to listen to, faithful to the scriptures, and culturally relevant - all at once.
No pressure or anything.
I'll be back next Friday. When I return I plan to do a series of posts with details about my new job.
see ya soon.

I’m proud to announce that Turtles All The Way Down came out in November of 2009. This was my first experience with the Consafo model of social media community publishing.
2000 copies were printed. We sold well over 500 as advance purchases or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This paid for the printing costs completely.
