Welcome to Blacksburg....
My seafoam-green, graffiti-splotched '95 Ford Windstar, packed with half my worldly possessions (the other half is coming on the next trip), pulled into Blacksburg today at approximately 5:30 PM. Hungry from the road, my new roommate and ministry partner, Wes, suggested we grab dinner at Mike’s Grill on So begins life in this small, southwest Virginia town of 40,000 with 2,000 of the rest of the world's best and brightest dwelling and studying, often unnoticed, in our midst. This blog is a closer look into my life and ministry here. I hope you can get a better idea of what I do, and also see what God is doing in this place.
You may be wondering about the title of this blog. It's a little play on words, combining my internet identity (RobAHowe) with the name of the Virginia Tech sports teams (the Hokies). What is a Hokie, anyway? Apparently, I am, now that I work at Virginia Tech - although I'll always be a Tar Heel inside.
