It wasn’t to long ago that I was in Jr. high. It was just yesterday that I remember a bunch of Jr. high kids playing air guitar at a winter camp with our church for a mini talent show. The song we played? “Here I am, rock you like a hurricane…come on Scorpions… We’re finding with a Jr. high kid residing in our house that what goes around comes around. My wife and I on two seperate occasions borrowed our kids shuffle to go to the gym. Now parents it’s a good thing to know what your kids are listening to when it comes to music. When my wife went to the gym she came back and told the rocker kid, “now all you need is some Fleetwood Mac and your shuffle will be fine. We both laughed. Where and when did he start listening to all these cool “oldies?”  When I peeked into his itunes list I had flashbacks of being in seventh grade…here’s what I saw;

 Anyways, laughed and realized how I miss being a kid.

At my installation yesterday a pastor friend of mine gave me the charge on what I need to remember as a pastor when it comes to serving Christ and the church. This is something he said, “A minister by the name of James Martin once wrote that being a pastor is like being a stray dog at a whistler’s convention.”  Isn’t this true??? What a joy it was to celebrate God and his goodness yesterday as the presbytery installed me as the new pastor of this great church. My family and I were blessed not only by our church family, but by friends from other churches that we’ve been part of over the years and who we consider family in so many ways. Thanks again to those who came out and celebrated together at our new church. Pictures to come soon…
