Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog. Welcome to the first post on my blog. Welcome to the third sentence of the first post on my blog. Someone recently told me that your first blog post sets the stage for your success or failure in the blogging world. Wow, that’s not intimidating at all, lol! Not really knowing how to start; I think I will simply start by telling you a little about myself and where I see this blog going.
As you have probably already figured out, my name is Jay McCaig, and I am a father, grandfather, and husband (not necessarily in that order). I have Pastored Crossroads Baptist Church in St. Cloud, FL for the last 11yrs. I have been blessed to have lived my entire life in Florida but have traveled extensively throughout the country. My background before entering the ministry was almost extensively in retail as a Regional or District Manager in Loss Prevention and Operations, mainly in a half-dozen different companies including, Target, Zayre, TJMAXX & GNC. But that seems like a lifetime ago, I often refer to my time in retail as my “past life experience,” a phrase other Pastors love. I have an odd sense of humor, finding humor in the most awkward and inappropriate things. I am convinced that God has given me my wife, Vee, to be my brain filter. I have avoided much trouble because of my beautiful brain filter.
So, what do I hope to accomplish with this blog? Firstly, my desire is to give voice to Christians. What do I mean? When I was a younger Christian, I often knew what I believed, but I couldn’t always tell people exactly what I believed or why I believed it. I hope to be able to put into words what you are thinking so that you will not have the same frustrations I had. We are called to live boldly, but that is hard to do when you are unsure why you believe what you believe or why you don’t believe what you don’t believe.
Secondly, I hope you will learn something along the way – things that will help you live more productively and have a closer, more confident walk in Christ. Things about the Bible, Church, and life in general. Things that I have learned through my successes, failures, and observations.
And thirdly, have some fun! Whether that is just looking at the humorous world we live in or just stirring the pot a little to get people riled up, let’s have some fun. Life is too short to be serious all the time. I encourage you to comment on posts that you like or don’t like, but I won’t argue over things that just don’t matter or entertain negative thoughts, there just isn’t time for that.
Well, that’s how I see things going right now. I have a feeling that a year from now I will look back and see a blog that God has taken in a completely different direction than I ever imagined. Please join me for the journey. Blessings J
