Just when I boast about making good on posting in the month I let almost the entire month go by without posting.
Well after much thought and consideration I've decided to keep on track and head for Southeastern in the fall. After thinking about it for awhile the amount of money that church would probably be able to pay me wouldn't be enough to support and I would get burned out early I feel my best course is to remain on track for seminary.
I've been working hard at the Slab recently got a raise so things are going well. Somtimes I feel like thats all I have time for is work, eat, and sleep. There are some days where I find myself wishing I was back at CNC just living the life of a college student...
well enough longing for what has already passed. I'm looking forward to the release of the Da Vinci Code. I've yet to read the book and I need to. Its just one of the those things that I think every christian should be aware of and know about.
Grace and Peace <><
This Blog will be my personal monologue of my thoughts feelings and experiences whenever the inspiration strikes feel free to join in on the conversation. Little bit about me, my name is Jared Lucas and I'm a 29 year old graduate of Carson-Newman College. I currently reside in West Columbia, SC with my wife Katie. I am in my last year of my MDIV in Christian Ministry at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.

Another Year Older
As I write this it is now 20 minutes til I'm officially 24 and another year older and wiser. I must say that my theory is continue to play out as true.
That theory is this: Once you get past the ages of 16, 18, and 21 there are pretty much no more milestone birthdays I would say until the traditional 40th Birthday. I'm not saying that today is just another day. It gives me a chance to reflect on where I am and where I've come from.
One example would be that this time last year I couldn't say that I have a college degree. So I guess you can count that as something significant.
Last night was a wild night...considering the weather we had. I felt like I was at Boomsday and I was sitting right under the bridge with all the Lightning from the storms last night. I can always enjoy a good and strong Thunderstorm. But there is something about when they occur at night that just unerves me.
well I guess that's enough. Wow I've been on a roll for the month of April I'm 2 for 3 on posting in the current month.
*chuckle chuckle*

Such Power
There are such things that demonstrate power an example of that would be my experience yesterday at Coal Creek Armory. I felt the power of both a .357 and a .45 hand-guns.
Then there is the ultimate power that is the power of God to work in a person's life when you think you've got everything planned/figured out God surprises you with the opportunity to serve way before the time that you had planned on serving him. Just goes to show ya that God knows best when it comes to your life.
I attended church this morning and the sermon spoke volumes to me. One of the words was about hypocrisy. That one should be able to say in public what they say in private. It was out of the book of Malachai. Intertresting note about this minor prophet that we are not sure of his name simply meaning that the word Malachai is hebrew "My Messenger"

Descerning God's Will
I've been on vacation from work this week which has been good its been nice to sleep late for consecutive days straight and not have to worry about working. After having dinner at church last night with my parents I came home and progressed with my evening as usual I could hear my mom checking the answering machine upstairs apparently there was something on it (I don't know I don't check it) she comes downstairs to find me and asks me if I've had any phone calls today I say and inquire as to why she is asking. she tells me to check the machine. The message on the machine is for me and it is from a man named Kevin Cook and he is from a church in Mascot, TN and they are looking to hire a p/t even a f/t youth minister. Immediately I went outside stared up at the sky and asked: "What are you doing?" like I may get a response.
So this definently presents an opportunity to serve even before I'm done with seminary and it also provides a job that I can have while in seminary however the plans were to go to Southeastern. So what I'm having to descern is this what God would have me do and in turn attend Southern Seminary via an extension campus.
I would very welcome your prayers in this matter and those of you have the gift of descernment please feel free to shoot me your advice to my email or feel free to call me however I would welcome any and all wisdom as I begin to consider my options.
