Hard to Keep Up

Posted in Personal at 8:52 am by Jeff

With the time requirements of family, job, school and life in general increasing a-pace, blogging has become a low priority. I am no longer the Director of Worship Ministries at my church, so Amy and I were able to get away for the weekend to relax sans-kids for a couple of days. I’m looking forward to simply going to church this Sunday.
