I have always been big on being at church.  When I first became a follower of Jesus it was hard to keep me away from church (just ask my parents).  People like to say to me, “Well you’re a pastor —- you are supposed to be at church.”  That quote always bothers me because I take it as a questioning of my commitment to my Lord and Savior.  What they don’t understand is that I would still be at church if I wasn’t a pastor.

While Krista and I were in seminary, the church we attended and were members of did a series on the names of God as part of a time of commitment to do some needed improvements and renovations to the churches facilities.
