"Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?' God said to Solomon, 'Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you.'" -- 2 Chronicles 1:10-12

I also have an 8th grader at Lexington Christian Academy. I am a team member at Toyota and have been there for 10 years. After 8 years of 2nd shift, the Lord decided it was time to give up my team leader position and go to days to have more time with my family.

Interesting Fact:

Brief Biography:

I have lived in Scott County my entire life. My wife, Angie, is a 1st Grade Teacher at Southern Elementary in Georgetown, KY. We are expecting our first child in October. Working with the people of PCA, I am reminded of the parable of the mustard seed.

"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof." -- Matthew 13: 31-32

Initially, the mustard seed may appear of small account and not worthy of attention. PCA is like that tiny mustard seed; God's truth is infinitely powerful, and once it takes root, it can become great.
