Welcome to our website and our very
first journal entry. Honestly, we’re not totally sure what
this journal is all about. We have been blessed to meet so many
people on our journey these last few months that we hope this space
can be a way of keeping in touch and sharing what’s happening
in our lives. This may even be a kind of behind the scenes look
at what it takes to start a ministry from the ground up, not to
mention random thoughts and reflections from, perhaps, the two most
random guys around. Maybe it can be like that show on MTV, The Real
World, except with morals and without a cool house (Although, Tom
is saving up to build an amazing log cabin. Preston, on the other
hand, will be living in his crappy apartment for the foreseeable
future). We could even have a cool over lapping voice intro like:
This is the story
(this is the story) of two best (of two best friends) called by
God to start a ministry (by God to start a ministry). This is
the real world…Hiking4Jesus!
For those of you
that could read the above and actually hear the beginning of the
Real World, congratulations! You watch entirely too much television.
But don’t worry, you’re in good company- last Saturday
we sat in the basement of Tom’s parent’s house and
watched the entire second season of LOST, only breaking to go
to the restroom, eat at Moe’s, and save a bunch of nun’s
from a burning school bus (Ok, two of those are true). After 13
straight hours of watching the entire season, we discovered we
had failed to rent the sixth DVD containing the last few episodes…we
cried. .
See how much you
are learning about us, already? The future looks bright, the possibilities
are endless, so stay tuned. And please know that we love all of
you, we pray for you everyday, but if any of you tell us what
happened in that last episode of LOST then you are dead to us!
