On August 8th, I am leaving MS to further my education in Philadelphia, PA. My heart had always been for the church. I believe the church is ill-equipped to handle many of the problems it faces today. I believe CCEF (Christian Counsel & Education Foundation) has devoted much time to examine the current condition of the church and offer Biblical, thorough counsel. I look forward to not only attending one of the most prestigious seminaries in the country but also being a part of the work at CCEF.

Change is never an easy thing. We become comfortable in our current conditions and the unknown makes us nervous… at least it does for me. I have always lived in MS, and now the Lord has called me to move to a huge city. It’s definitely going to be a huge change but a great one though.

There is so much to see and do. Philly is located near NYC, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. Everything is accessible by train. One of Philly’s greatest appeals is public transit. It makes travel so convenient.

I look forward to returning home often, to cycle with dear friends and see family. My dear friends, Chris and Amy Green, are giving birth to their first child, Liam Green, in September. I can’t wait to come home, just to see him; I’m so excited!!!

Stay tuned. I will update my blog as often as possible!
