sermons and notes posted on this blog are not necessarily what came out of my mouth during the services,
but they'll offer a sense my dance with the Holy Spirit while preparing to preach

Sunday, July 21, 2013

invite Jesus in... and there goes the neighborhood (and all you thought was so important)

Though my first official day as Chaplain at The Canterbury was July 1, I was away the last two weeks tending to a family matter (that ended with me sitting by a loved one's bedside for five days as he died in hospice care).

During this morning's services, I'll invite discussion about how our perspectives and priorities evolve and mature with regard to the prioritization of time and attention on more true relationships (with each other and with God)... from previously anxious concerns about completing tasks and meeting expectations of others.

Good lessons for my first Sunday with my new family here.

Good lessons for the beginning of a new ministry role.

Good lessons for living more in the moment at Christ's feet.
