I am going to be honest and confess that I will be skipping this task this evening, or better put delaying it until tomorrow night. Abby and I are leaving this morning for Baton Rouge. We will be there this weekend and then we fly out on Monday so that I can preach a youth camp followed by a little bit of time with our family.
I am delaying the Friday night meal with friends until tomorrow night when Abby, Blake and I will get to break bread again with Mike and Lisa. We are really looking forward to this. In case you did not see this during our Call weekend, the Massars and Martins are really good friends. Our friendship and mutual respect and admiration are foundational to the co-pastorate model. We can share the pastoral role because of our friendship.
So tomorrow night we all have lots to catch up on including what Blake has been up to the last few weeks, what we have been reading, what all we have recently cooked or eaten (we are all big food people), some of the projects we have all been working on for University Baptist Church, and just general life.
I can promise that the table will be full of laughter, affirmation, gratitude, and Christ. It always is.
I hope sometime this weekend you can find a table and share this experience.
The table plays a most important role at the heart of Christianity.
