Narrow your life to one significant moment? Unless you've stood on the Olympic platform for a gold medal or peered into a microscope to discover a cure for cancer or ran into a burning building to rescue a family, how can there be just one?
Certainly, you think about marriage or the birth of children and you would be hard pressed to identify more life changing, significant events than these.
Um. . .
I remember clearly my ordination over 22 years ago now. I remember intentionally never trying on a stole until that moment. I remember feeling the weight of that stole, symbolizing the yoke of servanthood. I remember my vow to uphold scripture, pray for God's people, and be true to the Gospel through teaching and preaching so that all may hear the Good News of Jesus.
As we move forth with The Master's Plan, I still remember both that promise and that one significant moment. When overwhelmed by fundraising, blueprints, financial spreadsheets, law suits, rezoning and one more meeting, I do remember that promise and that one moment and it helps me clarify the bigger question of, "Why."
