Another Newbie
Hello AFF!
I have been reading the threads on this forum for about a year and have really enjoyed getting to know different points of view. There seems to be such diversity here.
I am 32 years young and am married with two wonderful children. I am also a preacher and have been in ministry for fourteen years - starting as the resident toilet bowl cleaner  (I'm sure there are others who know what I'm talking about)
Anyway, I look forward to posting and getting to know everyone!
Eric

Re: Another Newbie
Bro. Michael -
I was so nervous about joining...as I said I have been looking and reading for a year or so, then I decided to jump in. I feel like I already know so many of you - even though you don't know me..(yet, anyway)
Thanks for your reply,
Eric

Brother, don't be nervous, it won't be long before you will feel JUST Like family!
Sometimes you laugh together, sometimes you fight, sometimes you cry together - and sometimes you might get so mad you stomp off to your room!
But, at the end of the day, we all love each other.
Excellent post about the line of pastoral candidates, by the way!

You couldn't have given a more accurate description. Especially the bolded line.
