New Adventures

I was investigating migrating my personal blog from the Story Point server over to blogger and happened to notice that there was activity here again.  Huzzah!  As I step deeper into the journey, I welcome the thoughts, advice and insight of fellow pastors.  I'm only 7 weeks in, and I'm only the interim guy, but I'm already encountering some wild and crazy stuff that I've been sheltered from for the last 6 years.  Perhaps you fellows can help me avoid the wall experience all together.  Probably not, but one can hope.  Welcome back my friend, even though you don't like me. :)

I stumbled across this today, and it seems appropriate.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. 
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. 
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. 
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." 
— Mother Teresa

Church on! (as Dan would say)
