The loss of my pastor.

 

My heart is heavy today. After being gone to a weather conference in New Orleans this past weekend, I heard the news that our pastor passed away.  To me, it was unexpected since we didn't know he was sick.

Our church has been through so much these past 2 years.  Our former pastor left and Pastor Johnson became our new pastor.  A lot of people left because I guess they wanted to follow man instead of following God. 

Pastor Johnson was a great man and did so much for our church these last two year he was pastor.  He took on a big responsible and came out at a time where all of us were mad, hurt and upset at what happened to our pastor and then the letting go of a lot of staff.  It took a while to warm up to him, but we fell in love with him and his teaching.  Thanks for the great 2 years you were our Pastor, Pastor Johnson

Pastor C. Michael Johnson 1955-2012.  RIP Pastor J.

New Orleans, here I come!!!

I'm excited to be going to the American Meteorological Society conference in New Orleans, LA this year.  The CEO of the weather company I do weather for online, Foot's Forecast,  invited me to come down there next weekend to the Student Conference and I couldn't say no.  I get to meet my fellow colleagues for the first time.

Since this year's outlook for my church is: "2012: The Year of Great Opportunities", I have a feeling I'm going to something good out of my trip to New Orleans next weekend.  My expectation is very high.

I'm looking to my trip to New Orleans next week.
