Yesterday I called a local campus ministry guy, Milton, to get some information on a Collegiate Summit he's doing next month in San Diego. I had briefly met him once before, and his wife twice before. Nice folks - been in the college ministry thing a long time. Anyway, after chatting for a few minutes on the phone and exchanging our respective histories in working with college/young adult ministry, Milt asked me if I'd consider speaking at one of the general sessions at the summit. It'll be with non-freshman college students, and is supposed to be something about living life as a Jesus follower on a college campus. Sounds wide open to me . . . and something I'd like to do. This might be a good testing ground for some ideas for my church sign campaign (see my post from 6/13).
I also had an engergizing talk with my pastor (friend, boss, neighbor) about my ordination process. He liked the game plan I had synthesized from some other sources, and even asked my permission to generalize it in order to make it the ongoing standard for ordination of all elders in our church. Now I get to dig in and make it happen!
