Yesterday in church the announcement was made. I have moved from “interim senior pastor” to “senior pastor”. We are no longer here temporarily — this means a “longer term”. The announcement pointed out that I’m not the “senior” pastor just because I have white hair!
At the same time, we are flying by the seat of our pants. We are in waiting mode as Lloyd Orthner, one of our congregation, continues to deteriorate from cancer.
We pray. We visit. But the hardest thing to do is plan! Which brings to mind that scripture “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” (Matt 6:34)
