Great morning at PAC.
Lots of new faces. Lots of old faces. Lots of in between faces.
And of course, Stan Wiebe’s face (he always appreciates a good blog shout out).
Aaron, Beth, and Jen sounded fantastic. Love hearing the voices swell behind me as we sing.
Tamara’s talk really got me thinking about who I allow to give permission to help me see my sin. David’s blindness really shook me. The guy had no clue until Nathan laid it out for him in black and white. That has happened to me a couple times. Scary how what is sinful can become normal over time unless a truth teller confronts us.
One of the benefits of working alongside Ray and Jake is the way they help me see stuff about myself I wouldn’t see on my own. I can only imagine how the Kingdom would be served if every young pastor like me had a couple old veterans to sharpen him or her up.
Now, off for 2 weeks of holidays before coming back Sunday Sept 5 all charged up and raring to go. Feels like ages since I got to preach! But that is gonna change soon.
