New to my Google Reader

A Couple bloggers to throw out there...

David Cramer (a.k.a. Davis Cravis) graduated from Penn in 2001. In the Fall of '96, I started my internship. One of my roles was Sunday School Teacher. My first day, I walked into the Mission House to find a group of 15 8th grade boys. One of them had been locked in the bathroom. 2 guys were playing with a lighter and their sweater lint. Another guy was rummaging through the refrigerator.
Then, this guy that clearly was too cool for the room, walks up to me, holds out his hand, and in a squeaky, yet raspy voice says, "Hi, I'm Dave."
In all reality, I'm extremely grateful God placed David Cramer in my life as I started out in ministry. Shared experiences included SEMP, 2 trips to Peru, 2 Choir tours, several overnighters at the dorm in Bethel, Cornerstone Music Festival, multiple meals in the greater Michiana area (but we've never gone to the Sizzler together), and the SOAR Program in 2003.
Dave is currently at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School where he is finishing up his masters. In 2005, he married Andrea (Shreiner), another NMC grad (and way out of his league, I might add). Davis is really smart. Follow his current journey here.


Also a part of SOAR 2005 was Joshua Seller. Josh is one of the most talented guys I've ever worked with. He made me laugh hard and often. Josh was also the first Worship Leader for the Connection, our on-site video venue at NMC.
From NMC he moved back home for a stretch. He then made it into the finals of the 2nd season of Canadian Idol.
Currently Josh is leading worship at Harvest Bible Chapel in Oakville, Ontario Canada.
It's exciting to see where God has taken Josh over the past few years. He's faced a lot of setbacks, tests, major breakthroughs, and he's come out on top!! His blog here.

Thanks for the shout out. You might want to change the '06 to '96 though, so as not to confuse those less familiar with our decade+ relationship.
