We loaded up a U-Haul Truck and packed up our little Escort Station Wagon as well and headed out of Putnam, IL for the last time into an unknown future with a new church on the South Side of Des Moines called Fort Des Moines Church of Christ.
We arrived at the church building to a waiting crowd that helped us unload our stuff at the duplex we moved into. That first Sunday was a snowy Sunday, only 49 people in church. I was rather embarrassed because I used to wear a suit and tie every Sunday and that Sunday because I hadn't fully unpacked, I didn't wear a tie because I couldn't find my ties.
I got over it. Now I never wear a tie unless someone's dead or wants to get married. Ten years! It's been a pretty amazing ride! Who knows what God has in store for the next decade of my life but this last decade has been very good. God has been outrageously good to me.
I thank God for His call on my life and the opportunity I have had to serve at The Fort these past ten years.

It was also 10 years ago this month that I went from the journalism field to the information technology field. :)
How Cool! Look where that road has taken you!
