A Light


About two months ago I (Wes) made the decision to change jobs. I had been employed at a local Christian nonprofit organization for over two years. Many factors were considered during the decision process. High on the list of items in consideration was a desire to be rubbing shoulders with non Christians on a daily basis.

For the last half dozen weeks I’ve been doing just that. I had forgotten the challenge of being a light in dark places on such a day in and day out basis. The transition I’ve made isn’t an easy one for this very reason. To be different, yet someone that isn’t out of reach or self righteous is one of the Christian life’s greatest challenges.

I’ll tell you though, it has revitalized my spirit. To be living the life I am called to without being so insulated has made it all so much more real.

Our Day in Snyder



It's been a long time, I know, but I figured, what better way to get back in the groove than posting a picture of our recent trip to Snyder.

Our team meet up for lunch, coffee, and visiting yesterday. With Reid and Meriden living in Lubbock for a couple more months and the rest of us here in Abilene, it was really special to get together.

You can experience Deanna's account of the reunion here.
