Merry Christmas from the Clingans

It was good to have all of my children present for Christmas. Jacob joined us from Knoxville where he is a Sophomore at THE University of Tennessee. Jordan is Junior in High School and has a new job as a lifeguard for an indoor water park in the frigid cold winter in Dallas. Jessie Kate is a beautiful and smart seventh grader. Joy is the happiest and most fun first grader to be around in the whole world. Of course Eli is our little pet rat with legs.

They all join Amy and I in wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year!

I Am Alive and Well

Following the Date with Destiny Conference in Jackson, Mississippi in August of 2007 I intended to take a few weeks off from the BarryClingan.org website and Bishop's Blog. Those few weeks turned into several months!

Although I have been away from the computer, I have not been away from life. These past few months have been very eventful to say the least. As always in the midst of a very frantic pace to life (chronos) there are many special moments (kairos) that make the journey so exciting.

For all of you who have written me emails and cards wondering when I will be posting again or if I am even still alive I say with the not so original words, "The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!"

Lots to come, stay tuned and stay in touch.
