it's still wednesday night... 11:38 and i am still in the office reflecting on the night that was... i guess that i naturally have a heavy heart after the gathering on wednesday nights... some nights it seems to be more than other nights... tonight is one of those nights.
i think that the best way that i can articulate this feeling is by comparing the feeling to that of a parent that needs to say goodbye to their child as they go off to college or something like that.
it's sort of protective, yet proud, sad yet excited for what awaits him or her ahead... but you never know what or who is going to come back.
as a pastor, week after week, i see faces come and go, life altering and life changing stories that make me smile, deep and in the trenches conversations but still they leave and go and they experience this thing called life...
are they prepared? i wonder...
will they make it?
will they be successful?
does this "stuff" make sense?
will they reflect christ?
how will they handle the tension when life squeezes?
all this stuff floods my mind, overwhelms my heart and ultimately leaves the boundaries of my control.
so...
yeah... he (god) is that good
experience him for your self... (taste and see that he is that good)
this thing called life is a gift...
MAY OUR LIVES BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD...
