Hello all! I think it important that we get to know each other before we start discussing things.

My name is Jim Augustine. I'm married, have 4 beautiful children, and live in Battle Creek, MI. As you can see by the title of my blog, I am a pastor and the church I serve is a Baptist church of about 300 members/attenders. I love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Another thing that you should know about me is that I am an avid Christ Follower. Therefore, you will find the thoughts and comments posted here to be safe, and free from vulgarity and innuendo. If you ever feel that I've crossed over the line, please feel free to call me on it.

With that said, I hope you all enjoy the blog! God bless, and have a wonderful weekend!
