“Keeping my feet firmly planted in the flow” is the
tag line I use for my email and my newsletter articles. I started
using it six years ago when my life took on an unsettled,
transitional quality. It was a playful reminder that staying in the
flow of this present moment is where I will encounter God, and where
I will find meaning and purpose in my living. Worrying about an
uncertain future simply does not serve me well.
During this time of transition in which you now find yourselves,
there is a temptation to get through it as quickly as possible. “Just
find a new settled pastor so we can get on with the business of being
the church.” I would invite you to consider the possibility that
there is a “flow” to this process. Being the church happens now.
Being faithful happens now. Being alive happens now. This present
moment is a unique gift. May we use it gratefully and joyfully.
