A Landing Early in my Flying Career

New Ministry for Cliff

Today is the official first day of my new position at HLCC. After working full-time (and by myself) on the Hume East project for the last year and a half, I was pretty much done. After meetings, proposals and no rebuttals, I am moving back into Church Relations. I get to be a part of the team, spend time ministering to youth pastors, and will get to once again help Hume connect better with the local church. I am super excited for a lot of the connections I get to make and can't wait to see how God will use this. More to follow.

3 Days Left

That's the view out of my office window as of 4:34 this afternoon. That's right, it's been snowing all day. When I peeked out my bedroom window this morning, it was just about a 1/2" of slush, but this stuff has just kept coming all day. I can't even begin to say how much we need this moisture. And Winter Camp starts in a week and a half. How cool is that!

My favorite day of the winter is December 21; actually it's the first day of winter and the shortest amount of daylight of the year. The reason it's my favorite is that it marks the beginning of longer days to come, and that I won't always be heading home in the dark. I'm not sure if this makes me an optimist or a pessimist; but I definitely look forward to spring.
