Take a picture. With this entry, I am now a "blogger." It's not that I deem my life any more interesting or important than anyone else's, just that Carrie and I thought this would be a good way to quickly become acquainted with the church family at Central. This may be your first time reading a blog, for that matter. You will notice it is a 2-way street - you get to read, and you get to reply too. Everyone gets to read it, which means everyone gets the benefit of your thoughts right along with everyone else's. So, this blog will probably look like an electronic refrigerator door, full of sticky notes, notices, and randomness. But have you noticed how we tend to leave things on the refrigerator door? Ours is "cluttered" with old team photos, Christmas photo cards, certificates of achievement from school, and magnets from places we have visited. That old refrigerator may have actually corroded and vanished under all that stuff and we just can't tell. But all that stuff serves to remind me that life is precious, relationships are priority, and we don't want to forget. Already, the relationships we are making and the welcome we are receiving from our new best friends in Rockford are things we never want forgotten. Thank you. Go ahead and put your sticky note on the door here. There's plenty of room.
Sherm, Carrie and family, My spirit is shouting, praising and bowing before our Lord in thanksgiving for answering all our prayers. What a Great God we have. Golden-ager, Dee Zick
Sherm, I want to join the others in welcoming you to Central. I have seen God work miracles over the past few years and no doubt your selection as Senior Pastor is an answer to many a prayer. I know of the stressors and uncertainty that accompany a move like this and I also know how important it is to have support in every area of life during a transition. You can be confident that you will experience a family support system that will be there for these introductory times. I've been blessed to experience it myself.
