Crunch Time
I am now into my last week in Louisville. It's hard to believe, but it's true. As of the weekend, I will be packing it up and heading south to Tennessee to begin my tenure as pastor of Memorial Baptist Church.
Saying goodbye is tough. I will especially miss the family of the New Life Bible Fellowship class at Highview Baptist East Campus that we were adopted into. You have been family when family was far away. We have enjoyed the time of fellowship and encouragement and we move on with the assurance that our friendship will remain strong. I deeply appreciate the gift you gave me on Sunday. It will be prominently and proudly displayed in my new office. Rob and Mandi, you do a great job...you're the best.
Due to all of the things that have to be accomplished in a short amount of time, blogging has and probably will continue to take a backseat right now. Lord willing, once I get settled, I'll be able to get into a schedule that will allow, at the very least, the occasional post.
I appreciate your prayers as you think about us over the next month as we work at getting ourselves and all of our stuff to Chattanooga. It promises to be an exhausting December...merry Christmas.
Hopefully, none of the regular readers of E.R. will run away forever and you'll hang with me during the transition. To our new family at Memorial Baptist, I look forward with great anticipation to many years of service, ministry and mission together.

As a Chattanooga area native, let me extend a warm welcome even though I cannot be there to personally welcome you (I still live in Louisville). You will enjoy Chattanooga and it's surroundings immensely. When we're down to visit the folks, my wife and I will try to make a point to visit the church and stuff!
Hey David! I hope ya'll are excited about the move to TN! I know that moving can be stressful, but worship the Lord through each step. Blessings to you and your family.
Thanks to both of you. We are excited, it can be stressful and we are definitely worshiping the Lord through the process. Stephen, I hope I do get to meet you when you come to town and, Nikki, it's great to hear from you. Karen and I both love the wedding picture. Blessings to you!
Thanks for the beautiful words of encouragement the New Life Class has meant to you. You and Karen will both be greatly missed.
As I have said many times I will be forever greatful for the many times we spent debating issues and discussing God's word. You have helped me many times with sensitive ministry issues and have helped me become a better leader.
As you know I hate to see you go but I am excited to see what God has ahead for you and the people of Memorial Baptist. The community of Chattanooga is getting a great leader and man of God.
You will remain in mine and Mandi's prayers as well as the folks of New Life BF. We love you and will miss you dearly.
Thanks, Bro.
David,
Thank you for disciplining yourself for the purpose of Godliness. You are a great mentor and even better friend. A genuine man after God's own heart. Oh, by the way, I have been letting you beat me at Foosball. Your quirky friend...Kevin P.
Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate you and your encouragement. As for the foosball comment: in your dreams :-)
