Today I'll be jumping in the car with my soon-to-be former boss, but long-time-in-the-future pastor and friend. We're gonna drive up to
Azusa Pacific University for a luncheon dealy with Erwin McManus. I think it's supposed to be some promo thing for APU's theology school. We're really going there more for the drive and talk time than for Erwin, but I'm looking forward to it - I enjoyed my read through
An Unstoppable Force. It's kinda weird how sometimes you have drive a couple of hours away just to have the excuse to do what you want to do anyway.
Yesterday I got a humbling glimpse of the impact of my resignation on my friend/pastor. It's tough to watch him struggle with it. He's been very encouraging and supportive, never questioning or doubting my decision, but I know he wishes I'd stay. But, as Henry Blackaby says, "You can't stay where you are and go with God."
