Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Brian Janes


I can't wait to see everyone!
What can I say...truth really is stranger than fiction!
I am the consumate posterchild for providing living proof that God really does work with knuckleheads!
After high school I continued my quest for mediocrity in college and became quite skilled at it.
It has been said that those who aim at nothing hit it everytime and I was a crackshot!
At age 23, I experienced a defining moment in my life: I was the V.P. of our family business, PCS Corp., had just bought my first home, (a tiny 100 year old bungalow on S. Emerson St for 72k that is now worth over 275k!),drove a '71 mustang Mach 1 convertible in mint condition, (until of course, I wrecked it!), and was dating a young woman whose father was a millionaire (I planned on us being together forever no matter how she treated me!).
But the bottom line was, inspite of all the external signs of success, inside I was empty.
I continued down this path for a couple of more years until I just got too disappointed with my existence...surly there had to be a way to experience a more fulfilling and contented life!
At that point I began to investigate the relationship between absolute truth, faith, and spirituality.
That process culminated when I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ on May 5th, 1986 and I have never been the same since!
At first it seemed like everything I touched turned to gold! It was unbelievable!
Just a few months later I met my future wife and best friend Angela (I was just a young man in love when she said she wanted alot of kids... I never asked her to qualify her definition of alot but she wasn't
joking!).
Next, I tried to get her to go into full time ministry work together at our then place of worship, the Church in the City (located at the corner of Colfax & Josephine), and somehow we ended up moving out East and establishing the largest population center between the towns of Kiowa and Limon!
If you would of told me back in '85 that 22 years later I would be a bible believing husband and father, happily married to the best sale I have ever made (she has wanted her money back more than a few times!), be a father to eight precious children, Live in a small, rural community where I have the opportunity to coach football and basketball (my oldest son Zak, 6'2", 240, size 16 feet, recieved 1st team offense and defense all conference and all state honorable mention honors last year but he unfortunately inheirited his dad's knees and has had two major surgeries in high school, cutting short the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level!), be an assiociate Pastor at an incredible church and operate my own business, I would of asked you what in the heck are you smoking!
At the same time, life has not been one big bowl of cherries either.
I never imagined that my wife would become a cancer survivor at the age of forty...an illness where the cure can almost be as deadly as the disease...(her free advice would be to not harbor bitterness in your heart because...it literally can kill you!).
I also never believed I would bury my son's remains in an old cemetary accross the
road from where we live and only a short distance form the site of the tragic accident that took him home to heaven a little over three years ago at the tender age of seven...(my free advice...develop a personal and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ before you try something like this at home!)
In all seriousness, we can't control what happens to us this side of heaven...we can only control our response...possessing an accurate eternal perspective has made all the difference in enduring the indescribable feelings of pain, loss, and grief!
Now, fellow rebels, I want you to rest assured that I am NOT coming to our reunion to launch my own T.V. ministry empire however, it would be a disservice not to share with you the best thing that ever happened to me especially since I bring much value to any of my classmates during our high school years together!
So if anyone wants to visit about any subject such as but not limited to: God, Faith, real estate, living with eight kids, cancer, the Bronco's, Buff's, our old High school days or whatever I am game!
It is going to be a great weekend!
