I learned at a very young age that my happiness could not depend on what I had or did not have, so I&#8217;ve spent my life making sure that my happiness comes from within. In this new book, you&#8217;ll learn my secrets on how to live life more abundantly, and how to truly be happy in any situation. I invite you to head to the All He Needs for Heaven store with the link below, and pick up a copy today. Not only do I promise a fun and engaging read, but you&#8217;ll also be  helping our ministry with your investment in this guide to happiness. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past few months, Joni and I have felt the Lord&#8217;s calling to tell my story to any and all who will listen.  In order to do that best, I have resigned my position as worship minister from Plymouth Park Church of Christ.  We feel that this ministry is so important, we must pursue it at all costs&#8230;even giving up something we love.  We&#8217;ll be back to Plymouth Park whenever we can, and whenever asked to come back as a guest worship leader.  We love our Plymouth Park family, and thank them for the kindness they&#8217;ve shown to us during this transition.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be in Odessa, TX this weekend for my niece&#8217;s HS graduation and to give our &#8220;All He Needs&#8221; presentation on Sunday morning at the New Life Church.  It will be a busy weekend as we&#8217;ll then head on to Lubbock to visit Joni&#8217;s family.  We are excited about this weekend, and every opportunity the Lord gives us to tell our story!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of you know, my wife, Joni, has been in the hospital since last Tuesday night with a major infection and having had her gall bladder removed.  You can keep up with her progress <a target="_blank" href="http://mcdonielfamily.com/" title="McDoniel Family Blog">here</a>.  She is progressing well.  We are rescheduling the Dawson Middle School appearance when we know more about when we&#8217;ll get to leave the hospital.  Being away from our new baby has been very difficult, but she is in great hands with grandparents.  I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be back to &#8220;normal&#8221; life in no time!</p>
