Early in my settlement at this church, a wise member of my congregation told me in a quiet moment "there are issues that were here before you came, and will be here after you leave"
Lately as we encounter obstacles to our vision, to the work we want to do together as a community, I think "I don't know how to move this, to create systemic change." I become impatient, frustrated. And then I remember that I'm leaving in June.
Often I'm watching football as I think this (Sunday being a big day for both ministers and football fans, the 2 often become conflated)
There's no way of knowing whether our team will reach the endzone on this drive, I can only hope that whatever yards we've won on this down will get us that much closer.
