Friday, July 20


Lately, or I should say, more and more, I’m thinking about getting back to my home faith community. And of course, what I should be doing as a deacon in my home faith community. 

I may be getting ahead of the game I suppose but I’m not trying to get a “jump” on things; I’m only reacting in a normal and natural way to what is rising in my heart. 

I think in this respect my “internship” has been very good. It has been a good time for reflection. 

I am in an “in-between” time. 

I am immersed in a new and different faith community with no position, knowing that it will be temporary. 

It is a waiting time. 

It is a time for listening. 

Though I do feel called to Austin and to Christ Church I may hear otherwise. I want to be open. I want to hear what the Spirit is saying. 

That was an important aspect of the “internship”; to take me out of my familiar surroundings, to see a different expression of the same faith, and to expect the Holy Spirit to speak still.
