it's odd. In many ways I like change. In others I'm really bad at it. So I think of the Church. If I handle some change really poorly, where does that leave the mamoth of the Church? If my new nick name is Elefante, what does that make the Church? Mastadon doesn't quite fit. hmmm. I am thinking of this becuase as some of you know I have accepted a new position at First Church of God, St. Joseph MI. I will be the High School pastor there. I am excited. I am in dread. I am happy. I am sad. There is so much new possibilty there. It feels like home in many ways. In others I've grown so comfortable in my little house on Merry Lane. But here we are. I'm confronted with the choice: Follow my spirit, or stay comfortable in my personality and the life familar. So I'm sure I'll mess something up. But that is the place where God can do his work. [thanks Mike Yaconelli]. So away we go. I'm reminded of childhood saturday nights in the early 80's with the Duke boys....
