So Proud

My wife bought her first domain name yesterday. It’s www.kristafrench.com (which currently is being redirected to this site). I’m sure she’s got some great plans for it.

I’m a pretty proud tech/nerd right now!

The Year of Here

I personally detest New Year’s resolutions.  Everybody makes them, few people actually are successfull with them.  Last year, with Brian’s help, i set some pretty intentional goals.  And i didn’t complete a single one.  Did i make progress on any of them? Yes, actually.  I made decent progress on all of them. But i did not actually finish any of them.

For the past few months i’ve been thinking about what 2011 will be like.  I decided to not go down exactly the same goal-setting path that i used last year.

Brian’s Preaching & Leadership Blog – Coming Soon!

If you’ve come here looking for www.brianrfrench.com, you’ve found the right place.

In the new year, I will be blogging once a week on preaching and leadership topics that I hope will be helpful to those in preaching and leadership areas of the church.

You may be wondering… “why”?

  • Who are you to think you’ve got anything to offer?
  • Why put another blog out there?
  • You haven’t been consistent in posting here, what makes you think you will be posting on the new site?

Frankly, they are all good questions.  And while I hope that I will be able to provide answers to the areas of preaching and leadership, I hope to generate questions and dialogue that is helpful to both you and me together.

My desire is not to prove my right-ness and your wrong-ness.  My desire is to create dialogue and learning.

I’m hoping you’ll be part of that journey!  Watch for www.brianrfrench.com coming soon!

Thankful…

What am I thankful for?  It turns out quite a bit:

  • A great family.  Krista and Josh are the best wife/son combo I could ask for.
  • A great extended family.  They don’t live close and don’t visit all the time, but when they are here, time seems to fly by as if we were never apart.
  • A great church family.  Pineview people, I count it an incredible privilege to share life with you as your pastor.
  • A God who doesn’t give me what I deserve (John 3:17)
  • A God who loves me enough to swap me with His own Son (John 3:16)

What are you thankful for?
