When the day begins early and ends late, it can be a bit of a challenge to even remember how it all started. For me, it was meeting with local pastors to pray for the transformation of our community through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The goal was simple and straightforward. From there, it was a mad dash through the morning, visiting city hall to adjust the permit request for our centennial celebration, then to the church to make sure everything was in place for Sunday’s worship, followed by following through on a commitment to my son in law. Finally, it was time to pick up my friend Chuck and head for Syracuse and Annual Conference.
Clergy session in a group as large as ours has turned into pretty much a rubber stamp process, necessary according to our church canon law, but perfunctory nonetheless. It’s over now, and after a late dinner, time for bed. I am thankful for safe travels, but mostly for the prayer time with friends this morning that set the trajectory of the day. Tomorrow we’ll get down to business, some of which may prove contentious. I’ll start the day prayerfully so I don’t miss God’s presence. It will otherwise be easy to do.
