Transition Time
St. Louis is my hometown, and always will be in my heart. For the last seven years I have pastored the most wonderful group of Christians at Providence Baptist in Rock Hill.
But when the sun rises tomorrow morning, a moving company crew will show up at my family’s house and pack up our belongings to move us into our new home in Louisville, Kentucky. The last six weeks have rushed by - acceptance of a job, beginning work, finding and buying and remodeling a home, and packing up a house - all of this has added up to a fast-paced June and July.
Although it is bittersweet to leave parents, friends, and family behind here in St. Louis, there is also an accompanying great amount of excitement in my new work as Director of Research for Dr. Albert Mohler, the President of my alma mater, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Most readers of this blog do not need an introduction to Dr. Mohler, so you can understand the enthusiasm I have in my heart as I begin this new avenue of ministry.
Please keep my family in your prayers as we make the transition, especially for my wife who is “great with child.”

Scott,
Congratulations on the new position! I will be praying for you, your wife and kids during the move. I’m glad you’re going to be close by in the area. I look forward to many hours of fellowship in the years ahead!

Congratulations! Wow, what an opportunity. I pray the Lord will continue to bless you. Will you continue this blog with Don after the move?

Congratulations, Scott. I’m sure it is a bittersweet departure. I wish you and your family well as you engadge in this new ministry. I suspected this might be the direction you were headed when you first shared that change was in wind. I wish we would have had more time to talk at Indy. It was good seeing you and Steve again.
May God bless you in your new ministy assignment.
TBH

Dear Scott,
It was great to see you briefly this past Lord’s Day…now I know why you were in Louisville! I tried to find you after service, but had to get to a meeting.
Hopefully I’ll see more of you soon!
