High 5ing of the Peace
No post yesterday, because I was out fellowshipping with my fellow students until early this morning.
I realized yesterday what I've missed about coaching football. It is the celebration & satisfaction of seeing someone you've worked with doing it right and succeeding. I found that joy here yesterday. In our Intro to Homiletics class (Preaching with training wheels), most of the class gave mini-sermons. (I did mine before Turkey Day, the text is archived here.) I have to let the ELCA churches know, trade for draft picks in the 2011 draft. You WANT to draft preachers from THE LTS in 2011. The Spirit is at work here. And for my Lutheran brothers of the Missouri and Wisconsin persuasions, you guys are missing out on SOOOOOOO much.
My new preaching hero used this for the jumping off point on a sermon for "Who do you say that I am?"
Every day, I see something out of one my classmates where I just want to give them a high 5. That sense of accomplishment and seeing someone succeed is what I went into coaching to have. I've just realized that I can get the same satisfaction here and in the church. I may be a little slow, or a lot slow - I got head slapped a lot; but seeing people succeed is wonderful.
I'm rooting them on because "everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded." They have been showered with gifts and talents and abilities. Thank God I just got a light sprinkle. ; D
