Well, I guess this means I've made it.
Im in a small church as their pastor. Im happy to be here thats for certain. Now comes the question-where do we go from here. Its a fine group of people..but they need spiritual direction and some visioning for the future. That is my task. First to build relationships and trust and then to help them become what God would have them be. I miss my community back at sem and the conversations that we had. Sometimes I would wish to go back there. Winter is right around the corner and the frost is on the gardens. Geese are flying south....but Im staying put this time. Huh, now there is a quandry for you...all this time when I was contantly moving, I wanted to stay put...now that I am "stayed", I sense the desire for wanderlust? Odd sort we humans. Peace to you all.
hi, welcome to my blog. I began this blog when I was in seminary, a turning point in my journey. But then my life has always been a series of changes, of moving, of transition. Just that at sem, it was moreso. I thought that when I graduated and was pastor in a church, life would settle down; I could put down some roots. But life is teaching me that we are always headed somewhere, always being drawn into the blue divide by the spirit,thus,I continue to be a Gypsy for Jesus.
