I want to apologize to all of my fans since I have not updated this site in quite some time. At the end of November 2007, I moved my family 538 miles from Cary, North Carolina, to Live Oak, Florida. On the first Sunday in December, I started my new position as Associate Pastor of Worship and Adult Discipleship at Mount Olive Baptist Church.


One of my first responsibilities upon starting here was to take charge of the church's website. Mt. Olive had a nice website, but it had not been updated in quite some time. I believe it was updated in October to announce the Fall Festival, but had not been updated since (i.e., to reflect that Christmas was coming, or the hiring of a new associate pastor).

Probably my largest addition to the church website was to start offering the weekly sermons available for download on iTunes. I started that in January, when Pastor John started his first sermon series of the year, and I have continued it every week since. At this point you can go on our website, link over to our iTunes page, and download any sermon from January through Easter. It took a little bit of ingenuity, but fortunately it required no additional monetary output from the church (i.e., all the necessary tools to do that were free). With the help of an open source (i.e. free) audio editing tool called Audacity I was able to edit down Sunday recordings to just the messages (due to their length and impending file size). I'm sure there's probably and easier way to do this (i.e., with a Mac), but this is free and it works.

Anway, please check out the Mt. Olive website and let me know what you think, your comments, suggestions, etc.
