Sunday the 11th of April was one of the best days ... my last homily as deacon at Grace Church Haddonfield, a place I have hung my stole for seven years now. So many people to hug, a wonderful brunch in my honor, I know I am using wonderful a lot, but the best word right now on my tongue, wonderful and kind words, pictures. I was very afraid to say goodbye, being deacon there was so fulfilling for me, and giving up something that put me up front, fed my ego, made me feel wanted, it is hard to do that for someting vague and still forming.
But it was time, as in Ecclesiastes 3 "a time to search and a time to give up". I must give up right now in order to be open to what and where God is calling me next. I must close this door and wait for a new one to be revealed and open for me. I must lay my gift at another door. God is not finished with me yet, there is so much for us all to do.
