In 1990 Virginia, Jennifer, Jeremy and I moved from Cabot, Arkansas to Houston, Texas to begin a new phase in our lives. After many years as a public school teacher, coach, counselor and volunteer youth minister, God led us into full-time youth ministry the summer I turned 40.
We spent over 13 years in ministry with the Sugar Grove church, making relationships that will last a lifetime and beyond. One of those special relationships is with Mark and Karen Howell... Mark is the preacher at Sugar Grove. This summer marks (no pun intended) their 20th anniversary with Sharpstown / Sugar Grove, and the church is throwing them a big party. They even invited us to come back and be part of the weekend celebration in a couple of weeks, and we're looking forward to that.
Virginia was also asked to put together a video perspective of those 20 years, so we're working on that today. We're trying to make it meaningful and funny at the same time... very appropriate for Mark and Karen. Not sure how it will turn out, but we're having fun making it. We'd be glad to show you the finished product if you want to drop by.
In the mean time, if you're reading this and know Mark and Karen, please don't mention any of this to them. I think this post is relatively safe from their eyes, so let's just keep this between you and us, shall we?!?
