Happy New Year! 2009 will see the ending of one phase of my seminary education and the beginning of the end of my final year at Concordia Theological Seminary. We have enjoyed our time in Tullahoma, TN since July of 2008 and will be here until July of 2009. I have a very good Bishop in Rev. Martin S. Nutter at Faith Lutheran Church in Tullahoma, TN. He as taught me some very good things about the ministry in the past six months and I look forward to the next six months of learning this vocation under him.

Keep us in your prayers this next year as vicarage ends and our fourth year begins.

My wife has been writing a novel in the Christian Romance genre. She has just sent it to her agent who will hopefully be able to sell it to a publisher in the next few months. Please pray that her book will be a success and yield us some much needed income to support us as we head into our fourth year.

God's blessings to all as you head into this new year.
