I love my job.....

Tonight I had dinner at Tweedy's Restaurant on Turney Road in Garfield Hts, Ohio.

A couple of things of worthy note here:

1) Garfield Hts is where I was born, and I have a passion to see that city transformed to the likeness of Christ.

2) I had a great meal (Chicken Paprikash, for anyone here that may appreciate fine Slovak Quisine) with two great men of God (Dave Brunelle and Mike Hopkins).

3) I love my job and let me now tell you why (further).

I had dinner with two guys who love the city that they've been called to. That has meant that life has been lived sacrificially for them and for their children. Cleveland has fallen on HARD times, and Garfield butts right up to the city. As I had dinner with these guys, I spent time learning about their church and learning about the inroads that they've made with other churches, city/government officials, and lost people in their community. As I sat there and listened, I couldn't help but feel as if I was one of the most blessed people ever, b/c this is my job.

We've got a lot of work to do tomorrow. I can't wait to see my home town in daylight. It has hit hard times, but it's still home, and I still want to see God do awesome things in and through the rust belt of the United States.
