Ready, Set...

GO! That is the favorite thing my 1 1/2 year old daughter Dayle says right now. You say "Ready, Set," and she yells out the GO! much to everyone's delight. It makes me think of this new year in ministry. We've just finished a busy summer around the church, and I can hardly imagine it, but the GO! call has gone out once again, as we are preparing for the fall. My hope and prayer for myself is that I might listen to the right "starter" and not give into the temptation of busyness. Each of us needs to take the time to say GO! to our life of faith first and foremost. GO! to time with Jesus. GO! to listening to our lives. GO! to intentionally involving ourselves in the things of true value. As I begin this journey, that is my prayer. Maybe it is for you as well? Blessings, Jeff
