Yesterday, I took my 8 year old son and 2 of his friends out to the lake here in our subdivision for a little fishing. What an experience that was! I spent most of the evening untangling lines out of trees, getting hung lures off of stumps, and even looking for a lost cell phone. Somehow in the middle of it all I did manage to catch a few fish.
After I got home I got to thinking about our trip and how tiring it was, but even though it was some work on my part my son and his friends had a great time. Then I thought that the same could be said about God, so many times we are like the little boys finding ourselves tangled up in life, loosing our way, and needing Gods help. I am so thankful that God is always there to untangle our mess, and help us to find our purpose once again. Maybe you are reading this and can relate, maybe you have lost your way, so to speak. I encourage you to cry out to Jesus, because He is our loving father and no one loves you more.

Jakes Bio
- Jake Claunch
- Memphis, Tn., United States
- I was born 9/08/1978 in Hammond, La. My wife(Ashley) and I met at Hammond High School where we both went to school. We married in 1999 and have 3 children Bradyn, Madison, and Brock. I come from a family of Ministers. My father Jerry Claunch pioneered a church plant in Hammond, La. in 1977 after having received a degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he pastored for 20 plus years. After High School I went to work doing construction, and it was during this time that God really spoke to me and called me to ministry. In 2001 I surrendered to His call on my life and began attending Ministers Training Institute in Baton Rouge, La. Then taking a part-time position as youth pastor at Eagle Heights Community Church in Hammond, La. After several years as youth pastor I became the Associate Pastor, where I was mentored by, and served under my Senior Pastor, Kevin Dunn. In 12/07 the Lord called me under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the leadership of Eagle Heights Community Church of Hammond, La. to Plant Eagle Heights of Memphis. So here we are, let our story begin.
