Fall Post

Hello blog world,

It has been far too long since I visited.

Life is pretty okay. Being a pastor is a lot.

A lot of

goodness-
baptizing babies, celebrating with families, being sarcastic with teenagers,

talking faith with the expierenced members

sadness-
walking with people in deep grief, hearing bad news with people, watching people struggle, feeling people's pain and confusion

frustration-
not being able to do and be all that I would like, watching people make dumb choices,
seeing people get too much trouble heaped on thier already full plate,

not being able to "make it all better,"
