A Time to Learn
So here I am in Philadelphia, getting ready for the Project Connect orientation at the seminary. The Project helps people who are discerning a vocation in ministry through retreats, mentoring and supporting immersion experiences in local congregations. This summer I'll be working with a student from Valparaiso University on pastoral care training and visitation. It's exciting to help mentor a future pastor and the experience thus far has confirmed my thoughts about wanting to be an internship supervisor when the time comes. I'm looking forward to hearing our guest preacher this weekend, the first of several sabbatical helpers. There are many activities popping up all over and I'm excited about getting engaged with all of them, with hopes that I'll have the energy to do them.

So what you're telling is...once, you were but the learner, and now, you are the master? And you've taken on a new apprentice?
Yes, everything is going as I have foreseen it. lol.
In that case, we all bow before your omniscience!
We are not worthy! We are not worthy!
(BTW, as I told you on Sunday, your sermon kicked ass.)
See you in church.
Yay for Valpo students!!! I am so glad you are getting to be a mentor! I am sure they are learning a lot.
You and your family are in my prayers as your Dad is in hospice. May God be present in both the death and life that is to come.
