Just Go!

Luke 10:17  The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”


I love being a priest, did I ever tell you that. I've held newborns before their fathers and grandparents. Imagine that, a baby handed to me because I'm invited into lives at precious moments just because I was their priest. I didn't have to pay the normal dues to join the club of trusted family and friends, I was just admitted free of charge again and again into precious personal times both fun and challenging. I've learned a lot about myself and people and God in those moments and like the disciples returning I have rejoiced at the power of God I've seen in those moments. I too was sent two by two not into every moment of my journey but I always had Marsha to share the road with me. Often I couldn't even tell her what I'd experienced in the privacy of those moments, but I always knew she was praying for me and sharing our journey. I think our prayer so often put me in the right place at the right time. Many of God's little miracles in my ministry happened as God changed my day in the middle of life and brought me at the exact moment I should be there to the right place. I've always had the feeling that without Marsha's part in that journey I wouldn't have been so perceptive of where God wanted me. This trip started long before I was ordained and blessed us all along the way, even before I thought of being ordained. I really do value all that I've learned about myself and people and God along the way. It all happened because were sent two by two, but also because we said yes and went. Have you gone? Will you go?
