5 Things I Am Excited About... Part 1

My Family
As some of you may know, and some may not, my wife Jess and I just found out that we are expecting our second child! This is absolutely great news and also a wonderful surprise! (Yes, we do know how that happens...) The miracle of birth is something that can't be explained, it can only be experienced. We were simply in awe when our first boy (JD) was born and I expect much the same reaction with this one. Along with the excitement comes a level of uncertainty as well because in November we will be birthing a child and quite possibly a new campus as well. That will be a roller coaster for sure! I should probably write a book.

I am also excited about what God is doing in my marriage and how he is teaching Jess and I. We are growing closer and learning more about each other every day.

And of course, JD is growing like an IRA in the 90's. He is doing something new every day, crawling, standing, walking (soon enough). It is absolutely amazing!

While we are speaking about family, please be praying for my Grandparents who are still recovering from their car accident and for my brother and his wife as well.

Jon thanks for this blog. It is exciting to see your family grow and it is exciting to see the growth of your families spiritual growth. As a PK and you a PK you know how important it is to feel like a family because you are expected to be the head of every ones family. Take TIME with your family no matter what! My dad did not do that and my sister and I felt the non existence of a true family that he taught to his congregation. Thanks for what you and Jess have done in the past 2 years, I have seen you both grow spiritually. I know you are ready for a break. But thanks for what you do and thanks for who you are!
