We are getting ready to launch what we call “Fellowships” in both Brownsburg and Bloomington. Neither one has a name yet, but since Deacon Tony lives in Brownsburg I am sure he is pulling for St. Anthony’s. The Brownsburg Fellowship will launch in December, and the Bloomington one, particularly with its focus upon students and Indiana University, will probably launch in January. It is an exciting time, and one which we can see the Lord blessing every day.

I generally am a pretty easy going guy, but knowing that Brownsburg is very close to the Indianapolis Colts Training Camp I am ready to veto anything containing the name “Peyton,” as I am the name “Knight” in Bloomington. My hope is that we will get a few good names out of each of them and then move ahead. After all, these launches are not meant to be temporary endeavors. A name is pretty important…….it should be a permanent thing!

All our other plants have very meaningful names, each with a story. And all their names reflect a little about their particular ministry in the world.

Thomas of course is the Saint known best for his doubt, and though that is not really part of my story, I suppose I could weave in a truth such as, I am pretty tired and doubt if I can stay up much longer. Oh the blessings of middle-age. In my 20’s I would be thinking about going out, and maybe not for yet another hour or so…..now I am thinking about how I will drag my tail upstairs and go to bed.

I am sure St. Peyton could do it, but he is young. And St. Tony, though amazingly old, lives in a ranch. But I am going to give it my best because I am neither young, or blessed with no stairs. I will however make it and dream my way into tomorrow……..I am sure it is going to be a blessed day!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless! I hope your day was filled with God’s abundant blessings!
