My last newsletter article. As I sit and type, I do not know who
will be writing the July newsletter article. However, that’s okay.
This transition hit us all upside the head, and in many ways we
are still reeling. The added concern of who will fill the pulpit at
Door Village does not help, but that’s okay. I don’t know how
many of my new parishioners will react to a pastor who wears
bowties and sports tattoos, and that’s okay.
If you’re saying to yourself, “Why does he keep telling me
that it’s okay?”, I’ll explain why.
As people of faith, we have to – at some point – begin to
learn the lessons of our faith, passed down to us from Christ,
himself. Jesus told us not to worry about tomorrow. Now, you
might be one of those rare individuals who just doesn’t ever
worry about anything, and I am thankful people like you exist.
However, most of us worry about things from time to time. So,
are we sinning by worrying? Are we ignoring the teachings of
Christ by being concerned about this thing or that?
No. Generally speaking, I think we would all do well to give
up a bit of our worries, but it isn’t a faith essential. However, I do
believe we can show a lack of faith if we allow our worry to lead
us to focus on what might have been and who is at fault for
whatever has happened. We show a lack of faith if we allow
our lives to come to a screeching halt because something – that
we know full well can change at any time – changes when we
expect it least.
So, let’s feel our feelings – hurt or angry as we may be – and
experience our grief. Then, we prepare for what’s next.
The first Sunday in June is Pentecost. We celebrate this day
as the “birthday” of the church. Jesus ascended into heaven
and the disciples – led by someone other than Jesus – went on
to change the world, by the power and presence of the Holy
Spirit.
Now, I’m no Jesus, but the Holy Spirit is still present with us.
Helping us. Guiding us. Let’s trust the Spirit for what tomorrow
will hold. All of us.
Peace,
