25 Years?

In the next couple of months it will be official.
I have been in the pastor business for 25 years. The Synod will recognize me at a Lunch at the Assembly. The church I serve today has given me a cake and applause.
A venerated retired pastor passed on his silver anniversary cross to me at the end of worship last week.
That was awesomecool.
Pastor Les always wears a cross to worship. He has quite a collection from his days in “the business.” He just happened to be wearing his anniversary cross when last week. It was one of those “Spirit moments.” I was preaching about how Jesus promises to send His Spirit to comfort and show us truth and be our Advocate. And then God goes and touches my heart with that very same Spirit in a surprising way.
It really was awesomecool.
