Being in ministry can be pretty lonely.  Lori and I have definitely felt the weight of that over the years.  We’ve been very intentional about trying to build relationships with other pastors.  We’ve made it a point to build friendships with church planters, and to seek to encourage them.

Without a doubt, one of my best friends in ministry is Gary Lamb.  Gary and his wife Deanna are the real deal, and they’re getting it done in Canton, Georgia.  Lori loves Deanna, so it’s just cool to be with them.

So Lori and I headed up to Gary’s town today and just hung out with him and Deanna. It was great to see Gary’s town; he truly is the Boss Hog of Canton

We got to see the theater they meet in (great set-up), their offices, and some of the local area.  Canton is about to boom, and I believe Ridgestone Church is going to reach a ton of people for Christ.  Gary’s the right guy in the right place at the right time.  I’m excited to see what happens.

Anyways, it was very fun to hang out with Gary & Deanna, they’re truly some of Lori’ and I’s favorite people. We talked a ton of ministry, 80’s hair-band music, real estate, and our most embarassing moments.

Thanks G & D for the hospitality, you guys are the best.  We love you guys! Gary, you’re my favorite redneck in the whole world.
