acts.1.eight

so i have decided to decline the offer for the blind date. too many things that i need to be worried in my life. maybe once things settles down. perhaps singleness is bliss?

the human face, divine – revisited
i had my coffee time with the youth pastor i mentioned before. he was 15 minutes late, but that no big deal. we had a good visit and i know that we have similar hearts. we did not talk specifically about his church or about the event i have mentioned before. i did not think we would. this was a get to know you more than anything. i told him about what is going on with me. we talked about sexual sin. he gave me a glimpse into his life. we talked about church politics to some degree. i know he and i are going to be good friends and allies. i think we can learn a lot from each other and be a benefit to each other as we seek to be ministers of the Gospel. so have my concerns with his church been relieved? not yet. that will take some time. honestly, i think i am jealous of them more than anything. they have resources at their disposal that my church can only dream of. but i think we play different roles. his church will reach people that my church never will and my church will reach people that his never will. and so we can encourage each other and push each other towards being good stewards of the resources we have been blessed with.

elsewhere…. the apple does not fall too far from the tree, or so i am told.
