Well, I am new to this whole blogging thing but a few of my friends have blogs and I have really began to think about blogging here and there. It is great to write a small twitter post or facebook status, but at times it seems as though a person wants to dive deeper into the mind of the person writing. For all those who follow me twitter or are my friends on facebook, maybe this will give you a better insight to what is going in my mind.
To being with I do want to say is that if you are just reading blogs here and there I am 22 and a Christian. I am also a pastor of a small church in the Mississippi Delta, Ray Memorial Baptist Church, I often feel as though I am gloating when I talk about being a pastor because I love it so much. We are a small church but I sincerely love the members of my church and being around them every week. I am also a member of ministry group with three other guys who are like my brothers: DeAron Washington, Gabby Hays, and Brant Boldon, we call ourselves That Just Happened Ministries Inc. We make videos: some are funny while others make you think.
Finally the whole reason I am in the Delta is because of great university situated in the Mississippi Delta, known as Delta State University. It is truly an amazing place and unique university. As I tell everyone, I loved it so much during my bachelor's career that I am staying for Master's degree, and Lord willing my EDD or Educational Doctorate Degree. I am from the greater Jackson, Mississippi area but I feel a calling to be here in the Delta for a while. I have often heard that the Mississippi is a place where a person will either "Find find and sustain his or her faith, or lose it" and in my experience I believe this to be one of the truest things I have heard.
Having said all of this about my friends and brothers in Christ I feel like it is necessary for me thank Christ for his love that took Him to the cross to bear my sins, and was then resurrected on the third beating death and sin and fulfilling the Gospel that God had laid out from the beginning of time. I also want to thank the best parents in the world Doc and Phyllis Peavy yall are amazing and finally I want to thank Amber Marie Wright for her blogs, she kinda inspired me write these blogs, as well as my former youth pastor's blogs Cody Busby and his inspiring blogs wish he was back in Mississippi but we all knew he was a Midwestern guy anyway and God is definitely working in Mulvane, Kansas.
New blog sooner or later, until then peace be upon you.
