Well, I’m finally getting ahead on my writing of bar and bat mitsvah lessons for my shul. Of course, by getting ahead, I only mean that, at the moment, I’m no longer writing them at the last minute.
I think one of the things that’s been energizing me is running into my old friend Simon again; we knew each other years ago when we both went to a different, non-messianic church. To run into someone who went down the same path toward messianic belief and is now following the same path toward ordination has been an energy-boost and an encouragement.
It’s given me a fellow traveler to talk to and fellowship with. I find myself more energized and perkier in ministry-related tasks as a result of not feeling quite so isolated on this journey. So that’s been a good thing, indeed, and makes the whole pursuit a bit more comfortable, like adding pillows to a straw bed.
