Just Thinking

I am breathing a little easier now. Our church business meeting was held last night and this year was a pastoral recall year. I didn't expect any problems but I was very nervous anyway. I am confident enough in my church that if there would be any problems they would come to me rather than waiting until the church business meeting to address them. In our church, the votes are cast and read right in the business meeting. The members are to vote Yes to keep the pastor and No not to keep him. Oh, and the pastor sits right there during the whole thing. Talk about nerve-wrecking. Anyway, the vote was very good. Actually it was excellent. It was a unanimous vote for us to stay with another three year call. I say the vote was unanimous, of course you should know that my wife and children were the only ones allowed to vote. Not really. I pastor a great group of people and we are looking forward to great things in the future.
