If you have hung out with me for more than one hour, I have probably told you that you or someone close by reminds me of a celebrity. Sometimes it’s the laugh or the eyes and not everyone agrees with me every time. My success rate hasn’t stopped me from making comparisons often and even keeping a list and posting them on this blog.
So here goes the fifth edition. Check out these links to the first, second, third, and fourth edition.
Don’t be offended, just humor me.
If you hang out with me for more than one hour I will probably tell you that you or someone close by remind me of someone. It might be someone famous, or it might just be another friend of mine.
Through the years this has lead me to do a few different “people I know who look like celebrities” (or not so famous people too) posts on the ole blog here. So here goes the fourth edition. Check out these links to the first, second, and third edition.

Today is my friend Sean’s birthday.
He doesn’t really need anything other than a new wardrobe, but all I can afford is this blog post to honor him.
He is sentimental and old fashioned so he will probably print this off and make a scrapbook or Modge Podge it to a plate.
My friend Sean Spoelstra is a crazy Canadian.
Before I introduce him to others I always try to prepare them.
I describe him as a Jim Carey character from the mid 90’s who loves Jesus and the church.
They always underestimate the way he sweeps into a room and takes it over.
When he leaves they say, “you weren’t kidding!”
Sean has cared for me as a friend and mentor for 8 years now.
He is one of my sanity people that I like to tell everything too, so he has seen me at my maddest and most discouraged.
Sean is a great husband and speaks into my marriage.
Sean is a great dad and speaks into my fathering.
Sean bleeds for the church and always champions multiplication.
Sean has hands down been the most vocal and supportive of Kristin and I planting a church.
Long before Movement Church when we were thinking about moving to Cincinnatti and/or had no idea what God could do, Sean told us he saw that in us and encouraged us to follow God.
I am grateful that God us made us friends and put you and Melissa in our lives.
Thanks for green lighting our calling and telling us we could do this when others weren’t as optimistic.
Thanks for the constant encouragement and helping me pursue God.
This blog post good for one free haircut.

That’s right kiddies, the one and only Josh Atkins has a blog. Yes the same Josh Atkins who was in Godsound, makes some of the cheesiest jokes you will ever hear, loves Huey Lewis, and can do every voice from Family Guy. While those things are all true, He is also the middle school guy at Wooster Grace and that is why you should track his blog. He is getting it done in a great way at a great church, so I am sure everyone would benefit from the influence of spending some time reading what he wants us to know.

I said how much fun I had the other day with my friend Travis and forgot to thank his wife for brining him to visit. So Vanessa thank you for helping Travis marry out of his league and for bringing him to see me and taking time our of your schedule with your family. Vanessa, thank you for also giving Kristin great conversation, advice, and friendship from a pastor’s wife I respect. I know you will challenge and listen to her as you both share the pressure of life in the ministry bubble.I must admit it is fun to be around them and see the life and ministry they have. I think the wife is what separates some pastors from others and Travis has a GREAT ONE!
