God is good!

Before our vacation last week Shannon and I learned that we are having a BOY. We're excited! His name was determined way before he was conceived; it is Noah. Each of our children will have two middle name: 1 traditional and 1 Hawaiian.

Remember that God is Good!

My name is Julius Murphy. I am a minister (officer) in The Salvation Army. I am currently responsible for The Salvation Army in Tri-Cities (Newark, Fremont and Union City, California). My responsibilities include: restarting the ministry here from ground zero, remodeling a dilapidated building, revamping the existing social service ministry and rebuilding community relations. It looks easy but it's a lot of work for a brand new Salvation Army officer. Nevertheless we, my wife and I, are on fire for God & His service and are up to the challenges our current responsibilities present. My hope is that Salvation Army leadership leaves us here for at least 3-5 years so that we can see tremendous growth and change in The Salvation Army's ministry here.

I look forward to sharing & discussing life, faith, ministry and stuff.
