It's All Greek To Me

Howdy Folks!

This is my first foray into the blog network. My daughters have been doing this for several weeks, but I just have not taken the time to sit down and start a blog myself. Middle man describes who I am professionally, philosophically and it is also something of a cryptic description of my personal Savior, Jesus Christ.
Twenty-five or so years ago the rock group, the Little River Band (in my pre-Christian music era) produced a song called "The Middle Man" which, nonetheless, to my understanding, was a description of Jesus. Jesus is our middle man or advocate, according to 1 John 2:1ff. He is the means by which we have salvation -- He bridges the gap created by the sin.
Our family moved to Hamilton, Texas 7 months ago to minister for the Park Heights Church of Christ and it has been a good transition. We moved from Washington state where we had been in ministry for the past 16 years. I have a great wife and partner in ministry and three terrific children. I have personally been in ministry for 23 years and it has been a great journey. God has blessed our family. We have been able to see many lives changed for the cause of Christ and we are thankful. As a preacher, I am God's middle man to the local community for the cause of Christ. Finally, I believe that balance is one of the significant keys to life and godliness. I have tried to help people to have a philospohy of life which helps them to be balanced, or "down the middle". As one person has said, "the truth is generally found between the two extremes."
I love to talk sports, space (as in astronomy) and spirituality. I am looking forward to communicating with you. Have a blessed week!

In Christ,

Don
