So hello there fine readers, first off let me say that I was whining about my blog, sorry.

Second, today was amazing, praise and worship was awesome and then Pastor announced our plans to move to Stockton to pioneer a college age ministry. I was still playing guitar and holding it together until pastor said "if you appreciate what the Hartmans have done here in five years and are excited about what God is going to do with them in the future, lets just show them some love and give them a hand."

Needless to say the standing ovation caught me off guard and choked me up.

The one thing that has marked the peace of God through out this is the response of Pastor and the church body here in Gridley, it feels nice to know that this is family and that we can come visit without any ill feelings.

With over 12 years of ministry under our belts, this last five years have been the best yet.

thank you Jesus!
