New

I started a new partnership today, working at the Central Church of Christ in Little Rock, Arkansas.

It’s a sort of homecoming for Kelly and I, having spent a decade here before the last twelve in Tennessee (2010-2022). Of course, for our kids it all feels like starting over from scratch.

New chapters can come with all kinds of emotions, and we’ve felt them all—the excitement of a new challenge and the grief of separating from some beautiful friendships.

This is a time in our lives of finding new friends, discovering a new neighborhood, building new habits and routines.

New.
That word can hold all kinds of promise—and challenges too.

May God be with us, and may the Christ who says “Behold, I am making all things new” lead us into this new chapter.
