{ MOOD: Moody | “Always on my mind” – Pet Shop Boys }

This is definitely the place to live if you are moody. Because so is the frickin weather. I left home this morning and it was sunny and beautiful. Then, by midday there were black skies, storms and hail, lots of it. Now, 70 and gorgeous.

And did I mention I have 500 maple trees growing in my yard because of the little helicopter deals and gallons of rain? I look at the trees and the clover and I feel emasculated. A man’s lawn reflects his manhood, I always say.

Dang it. My manhood has trees and clover on it.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
