Holy Spirit Work Within You...
At Annual Conference tonight, we commissioned & ordained fellow clergy. I was a very meaningful service as some new & long-time friends had their ministries validated & uplifted by our conference. I especially liked that our commissioning is now in the same service as the ordination so that the two events are explicitily linked.
It was also nice to think of two very good friends of mine, Andy Stoddard & Greg Hazelrig, being ordained a conference away. I think the future of the UMC is in very good hands.
Just one more year, 364 days to be exact (right John?), and it will be myself and a great class of ordinands being told to take authority as Elders in the UMC. I pray that this last year will be a blessed one for my fellow Class of 2004 probationers and that we will be all that God has called us to be. Wait, that was way to Army of a saying...How about we "Cross into the Spirit"?
Air Force All the Way!!! HUA!

I pray it will be a good one for you and John. I pray for your stress level as questions have to be answered and interviews had. I pray that you receive as much excitement a year from now as I did a week ago.
God bless you and your ministry in Arkansas.
