ok – I am going to throw this out there by posing the sam question to our readers that I posed to the Journey Board of Directors not too long ago.

I would love your gut reaction to the following:

Some people whom I trust are encouraging me run for Clay County Commission Seat #1 which is coming up in August of 2008. I have spoken with a number of individuals over the past 3 weeks to discuss the matter in detail, but have not made any final descision regarding the matter.

Mary Jo and I have prayed and discussed this at length and engaged the kids as well and we feel pretty good about it and the time commitments it would entail. Those of you who know me know my heart for the county and my desire to see it prosper in every way. Our desire to make it better for our children and childrens children.

coming on board was an answer to prayer as it frees me to be in the community more. Most of my community efforts have centered around things of this nature, I would simply discontinue other board affiliations and focus on the greater county as a whole so the time outside of a short window from say June-august of next year really wouldn’t be a great deal more than the community efforts I have put forth over the past 2-3 years.

There would obviously be serious time commitments involved and the magnitude of this decision is not a small one. Balancing responsibilities to God, Family, Church, and the county would require a great deal discipline.

Might my efforts to bett the county be more effective through Journey or through Impact Clay? I don’t know.

Please share your gut reaction and any follow-up questions.

Would you pray for us as we seek to make a wise descision on this matter?

Wanted to post a word of thanks to the Clay County Board of County Commissioners for approving an additional $65,000 for the Clay Victims Services Center.

Commissioners, we sincerely appreciate you and your hard work for our county. This is a very, very good cause. When women or children find themselves in the place of being physically or sexually abused it is just terrible. No doubt one of the worst if not the worst moment of their lives. Your support of this initiative helps make a bad situation just a little better.

As a side note to Mr. Bush. – We promise there are no Cadillacs in the budget.

To the people on the board of the CCVCS, law enforcement, the state attorneys office, Mr. Harry Shorenstien and the dozens of others who came out today to the meeting. I commend you for stepping up and standing up for something great in our county!

Why not contact the commissioners and let them know what a great job they did with this one:
