It's a strange occurrence - hitting one of those legendary mile markers in life. I turned 30 yesterday. This 'entree into my fourth decade of living on planet earth has afforded me an opportunity to reflect deeply (or at least more than usual) on my life. Specifically: where I'm headed; if I'm pleased about that direction; how it affects those who love me most and what choices I need to make now to correct any directional discrepancies. There's a lot there but it's all good stuff. I guess it can be simplified to a personal inventory of what makes Shane, Shane and if that's consistent with the Shane that God says I'm becoming. Overall, I am grateful for the run of thirty years God has developed me through, I'm content with where He's brought my family and I now and I'm very excited about the adventure that He's laying out ahead of us. God is so very, very good! So here's to what's left of my time on earth (before this body's food for worms) - doing what God has called me to, with people I love - through the joy and the pain of it . . forward we go! Peace to you wherever you find yourself this day.
For the last two years I have had the privilege of getting to know a man called Michael Guido. 'Guido' as he's better known, has been a friend to those in the Arts & Entertainment industry for over 20+ years. He's a pastor of sorts and a spiritual companion. Guido is a pioneer in the 'road pastor' tradition - supporting groups like Jars of Clay , dc Talk , POD , Michael W. Smith , Switchfoot and others. He, his wife Celeste and indeed his entire family have given so much for the calling on their lives to support, challenge and encourage artists and their families in their relationship with Christ. Please pray for the Guidos if you're the praying type. Pray for protection, financial support, joy and an overriding sense of God's clear calling on their ministry - PR Ministries . The PR stands for 'Persuing Relationships'. Every time we speak, Guido challenges me with his intense love for God and his knowledge of the Scriptures. H
