It is a new day at Heritage, and a new day for the Heritage pastor who has spent this morning setting up his very first blog! Blogging is new territory for me, although not totally new, thanks to Ken Deihm, who has invited me to do his daily devotional blog--10 + 10--while he is away.
So, I set out today. And we set out. It feels good to be on the road. And I know from experience that, while you can imagine what things might be like on the road, thinking about being on the road is not the same as being on the road; something awakens in us once we finally get going, get moving. A quote from Mark Twain comes to mind: 'A man who grabs a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way!' Somethings you can't learn or experience until you get on the road!
We are now a campus, the Heritage Campus of FUMC Grapevine, and there is much that is good about thinking about ourselves in that way, it seems to me. For one thing, Methodism got its energetic start on a campus--the Oxford campus in John Wesley's England. May being a campus help get us back to our roots; and may we grow in all good ways, but especially in grace and in the knowledge of our friend, brother and Lord, Jesus Christ. RS
Finally figured out how to be a follower, now I have to work on a photo, I don't look good as a Member of the Blueman group.
