The last post made on this blog was on December 9,
2011. For the last several years, it has
been dead. The beautiful thing about
being dead is it provides time for a resurrection, as the biblical narrative
shows us time and time again. My long
absence is due to the life journey I have been on since 2011. I became a Trainer (teacher/supervisor) at my
job a week after my last posting, experienced the joy and hardship of middle
management, and learned a lot of new insights. I was interim pastor (bio-vocationally) for
several months during this time. A month ago I was hired as the sole pastor of
South Union Mennonite Church. This
church has a beautiful congregation which I am loved by, love, and serve as a
pastor. Lots of change has happened...and
as life has the habit of doing, I am a
different person than the one that wrote two years ago.
That being said, I am going to continue blogging about the
ordinary journey of daily life, which is actually quite extraordinary. I will be beginning with a series reflecting
on who the Mennonites are, why they matter, and what draws me to them as a
pastor a congregation in their midst. We
will continue to wrestle with difficult texts, ordinary insights, and books
reviews along the way.
I also want to invite you to dialogue with me through the
comments below. Share your stories,
reflect on your experiences with me, for no journey is meant to be traveled
alone.
