In Appreciation For Faithful Men who Entrusted to Me What they Had Been Taught
This morning I was looking through a few old pictures on Facebook. It’s funny what one will find in looking back. Old memories flood my mind like a tidal wave, reminding me of long-forgotten joys, oft-remembered pain and much appreciated people whose presence in my life have left an indelible mark.
One particular photo has elicited in me a spirit of incalculable gratitude. In this picture, taken the occasion of my ordination to pastoral ministry over 7 years ago, I’m surrounded by three pastors – faithful men who took particular interest in passing to me what they had learned through years of following Jesus and serving his church.
