Starting Monday, and while Kris and I are in South Africa, we will begin a series I’ve called Pastor’s Wisdom. I asked a series of seasoned pastors this question: If you could start all over again, knowing what you know now, what would you focus on? Or, if you gave a young pastor some advice, what would you tell him or her to focus on? Yes, we will have both men and women respond to this series, and I can tell you — Kris and I were blessed just reading the responses. I’m sure you will agree. (I asked them to keep it 250 words if possible. Not all did; preacher’s license.) The series will be a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday series. Our Friday is for Friends series will be suspended while we are away.
We have a crew working on our home, and we’ll check up on the blog and even post if we can.
