New Horizons

Hello friends,

Some of you know this already, but for those who don't (if they still check this almost abandoned little blog) I will announce it here.

I have accepted a job teaching art at a school district in central Iowa.

It is not easy leaving Elk Horn, my adopted home, but life is a series of changes.

I will keep my connections to my close friends here in western Iowa and Omaha. I will continue my ministry in whatever new form it takes. Chris and I are writing music. Thrown will step back, heal, grow, evolve, leap, push and work for the Kingdom. In all things we strive to transform and never conform.

Thank you for your support. Now that my occupation is secured I will have more time to write. I want to tackle many issues on why I felt it necessary to leave Elk Horn. I want to share so that my readers can learn as I have learned. Jesus is remedy. He isn't easy just as the truth isn't easy to hear and medicine is hard to swallow. But we choke down the hard lessons and we keep it down and we are healed and we are made new.

I feel that I am shedding my cocoon and spreading my wings.

More soon...

Bollman

Bollman!!!!! I have been searching for your site for quite some time and I finally found it. If it's all right I would like to send you an email of how things have been going so far in San Fran and share with you my recent art work.-Steven W. Howard-mystramon@hotmail.com

Bitter/sweet is the news. I am glad you are leaving such a destructive kingdom. Like this past Easter, the snow queen showed up and froze our spirits...that is until the band began to play and the worship songs began to rise I was again warmed by the true Spirit of God. Dogma's and details were left behind for grace and kindness. It is, after all, Easter.
Thank you for what you have done for my kids. God is with you.
