I was going to be real spiritual...

But those of you who know me, know that I am horrible at hiding my thoughts and emotions. So what emotions am I feeling since hearing the words from Bro. Mark's mouth that he was going in view of a call? Well... the first thought that hit my mind was "How on earth am I going to get those pin mounted letters with his name off the church sign"... so basically, I went fully into administrator mode and spent the entire night thinking strategically about the months ahead. As I type this entry I am sitting in the worship center only a few feet from where Bro. Mark wrote on the concrete floor during our campus launch. The words he wrote were "I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for those who believe" Romans 1:16.  Now as I sit here and think of those words my mind drifts back over the past 52 years at Colonial Heights. Since the day a group of believers met in the home of Jim and Geneva White until today on this 60 acres God has provided, over the tenures of all 6 pastors... the vision of Colonial Heights has never changed... the vision has been and always will be to see people come to the saving knowledge of Christ. The blessing of Colonial Heights is WE are not ashamed of the gospel... WE boldly go and tell both here at home and around the world... WE will always be known as a church after God's own heart! 

I pray for you daily and can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us!!!
