awaitingrain's profile Bill Huffhine / 40, Male / Member since January 2008 / Last seen 1 month ago
I am a 39 year old spiritual voyager and navigator on my way out of the known and into the unknown.
I am an apprentice with the Christian Writer’s Guild, a frustrated golfer, and a yearly short-term missionary to South America. My addictions include Starbucks coffee, Amazon.com boxes filled with books, and internet blogs about culture, theology, ecclesiology, and missiology.
I have been married to a wonderful wife for over seventeen years. I'm not yet a father but the loving master of a one-year-old golden retriever named Neo. My wife and I have struggled with miscarriage issues for many years but are beginning the process of adopting a child.
Fresh out of high school I began working in retail and within a short time entered into the management program. After nearly ten years in retail management I found some sanity and transitioned into the newspaper industry where I worked until 2001. At that time I began a self-supported full-time internship to prepare for church-planting. We planted a church in 2002 and pastored until 2005, at which time I experienced a crisis of faith and returned to the newspaper industry.
Today I continue to work at the local newspaper as a marketing manager and editorial board member. I am also in college finishing a degree in internet design and management. Whereas at one time my passion was to be a church leader, today I want to give my life to helping people discover a vision for their life and pursue it with passion while being mindful that the sole meaning of life is to serve humanity. I hope to do this through this website, a published book, speaking engagements, and meaningful relationships with those around me locally and around the world.
The name of my blog, Beyond What You See, comes from a moment in time, while Lynn and I were dating, when she said to me, "You need to learn to look beyond what you see," as I lamented the smallness of my life and lack of vision for the future.
