Change is just downright uncomfortable!  Really, think about it.  It’s unsettling, different, not what we’re used too.  It’s a move from what is familiar…soothing…boring?  Everything is changing.  I see it everyday when I look in the mirror.  Gravity and time are at work (Not Patti…just me). BUT…at the same time it’s exhilarating.  To be strapped into the newest most extreme ride that even Six Flags couldn’t build.  What an honor!  What a life!  What an opportunity we all have to MOVE out of our  all too familiar ruts and into something much larger than ourselves!

All that to say that, I’m moving my blog postings to the new Every Tribe International website.  CHECK IT OUT HERE!!! I really do want your elders to begin to utilize the ECF website and begin to blog more frequently themselves.  I hear the podcast.  I KNOW you’re being fed and that they really LOVE you with a passion that only God can give.  I knew where we were going the first day I stepped foot in the building.  So, I’m not surprised.  Therefore, I need to move over some with this and I’m glad to do it because I know everyone else benefits from such.  I still need outlets for writing and just plain ole popp’n off, so I’ve started a new blog site for myself and ETI.  Just like here, there is a place on the website for you to sign up for an email notice that it’s been updated if you so desire.  Or, you can just see the box on the right side of this blog site that says:  ETI blog site.

Just to clarify: Patti and I are very much and still deeply committed to ECF.  We don’t take the headship position lightly.  We are busy…we travel…we are constantly giving ourselves to something or someone…but, YOU are never out of our heart or thoughts.  You get “prayed over” more than you can imagine.  That truth doesn’t change.  Ever!

I tell young men and women all the time that covenant isn’t limited by geography.  It’s established in the spirit by commitment, trust, honor, preference and most of all:  LOVE.  That’s why all this transition is also filled with HIS peace.   At the core, the change just takes us deeper into what we value and believe the most.  Simply put:  ECF, you are covered.  Covered from every angle.  You are our joy!  We are one.

We be lovin’ us some ECF people!  See you shortly!

Patti and I meet and interact with hundreds of kids on THE WORLD RACE. You have certain kids whose explosive personalities and gifts make them like fireworks on a hot 4th of July night!  You just see it immediately…even from a distance.  In the spirit it’s loud, bright, colorful and amazing.  Then, every once in a while, you meet a kid who just does the business, right under the radar.  Day in and day out…serving, giving, loving, speaking the love of God in the most tangible expressions.  Rock solid kids who are grounded, deep, sensitive, full of His wine, His fruit, His Word.   Stephanie Tyrna (”H” Squad) is one of those people who you know will do amazing things for the Lord.  There won’t be any chest thumping and it’s slightly embarrassing to her if you fronted her out with any of it, but she just DOES the business.  Patti and I love her dearly!!!

Steph just got back from Haiti and is to return shortly for another month or so.  Please keep her and the rest of our sons and daughters safe as they offer a cool drink of water in such a dry and hurting place!  YOU CAN ALSO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT HER ON THAT BLOG SITE! Thanks!
