The Stretched Blog Visits The Handwritten
Today, I have the honor of guest posting over at The Handwritten. The Handwritten is a blog by my friend Michael Perkins. Michael is a creative pastor, blogger, husband, and dad. Everyday, Michael posts a handwritten thought. I love his creativity and honesty, and I consistently am challenged by these thoughts. Please check out his blog and my guest post which is titled Stop & Start. Then do me a favor and leave a comment. Thanks!

(Regarding guest posting, I love opportunities to guest post as it provides another opportunity to “stretch” me, so contact me through the comments if this is something that interests you. And I love to share others stretch stories and guest posts, so let me know if that’s something that interests you as well.)

You might be wondering where the “Stretched” thing comes from. For starters, when I was in high school at Rancocas Valley Regional High School, I was short – 5’6″ to start my junior year. Since then, I’ve grown to almost 6’6″. Many of my friends started calling me Stretch.
On a more recent basis, I often feel “stretched” by all the things going on around me – career, marriage, parenting, church, running, reading, friendships, extended family, relationship with God, etc. (in no particular order). My hope is that this blog will provide an opportunity to express some of my “stretch marks” and to possibly hear your thoughts as well. 
So here is a bit more about me: I’m a Christ-follower, husband, dad, son, uncle, engineer, runner, chicken farmer, gardener, saxophone player, operations manager, adventurer, and the list goes on…. I’m extremely blessed to have the best wife in the whole world. We met at Grove City College. We were engaged on top of the Eiffel Tower. We got married in Greensburg, PA. Now, we live in Schwenksville, PA with our two incredible kids, and our black lab.
Such a great post Jon. Thank you for sending it to me man.
My pleasure, and thanks for the opportunity to share. I’d love to see you guest post here (on Stretched) sometime. Let me know if your up for it.
