I hope you have all had a blessed Easter!! It's been a very busy year thus far for the Clontz clan. I'm somewhat settled in Birmingham and Craig and I are now a part of a new demographic, LAT (Living Apart Together). I've finished my first 90 days as Superintendent of the Cheaha District and on Palm Sunday I preached my last sermon at Trinity. It was hard saying goodbye to that wonderful congregation! But I am very much enjoying getting to know the pastors and congregations of the Cheaha District. And hopefully I'll be able to take up blogging once again. So to get started here are a few of the interesting things I've read over the past week.
