Happy Anniversary to JW
I just realized that today is the actual date of Jacob's Well anniversary...birthday...I'm not sure which, but you get the idea. We held our first public gathering on Sunday, September 12, 1999. Hard to believe that it's already been eight years. Which is understandable because it hasn't been just eight years. In reality that date only marks our "formal launch," whatever such language means. Our core group started gathering informally in June 1998 and while we didn't hold public gatherings, everything that has become the public manifestation of who we are was happening with that small group from the early days. What a blessing to share life with so many wonderful people. Amazing.
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-6
Love to hear the whole story sometime...or at least your perspective. Don't we all just love prequels?

Actually, Tyler, I tell a good bit of it in my upcoming book.

That sounds like a shameless plug! Nonetheless, I'm pumped to read it for a variety of reasons - that now being one of the top

You are right about that - there is no shame in promoting from my end! There will be a good amount more of it to come as well. ;)
