a sermon, a story, a transition

so i started this blog a while back, kept it private, forgot about it. then realized i preached a sermon with the same title. Seems to be a theme in my life, or at least for a few years now. so you would think i would have moved on to something new... well... not really.

in don miller's million miles in a thousand years book i find some interesting truths- characters in stories don't move unless they're forced. they find comfort in the familiar even the unpleasant familiar. it's only when circumstances arise that force us to change- that we actually leave the familiar and venture into the unknown.

we're in transition here at Williamsburg CC . Steve Sandefur has resigned as lead minister and will be leaving come june (we didn't get along too well). i don't know what kind of change this will bring for our church or for myself, but this is one of those circumstances, events, moments- that just might force me to change- like maybe even start blogging. nod to shawn.
