“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.  It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.  Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127

“Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways!  You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.  The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!  May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel!” Psalm 128

I’m Clegguart Charles Mitchell III. It’s pronounced Clay-Gert and I’m named after my grandfather and great-grandfather. I’m a husband to Jenny, dad of eight, and pastor of South County Bible Church in St. Louis. I grew up in Iowa and have spent most of my adult life in pastoral ministry. I write because writing helps me think - mostly about Scripture, ministry, people, and the intersection of biblical truth with ordinary life. My approach to ministry is pretty simple: Preach the Word. Love the People. Trust the Lord. I’m still learning what all three require.
