A Time to Laugh and a Time to Mourn

Funny how the laughing and mourning often go together. Today I watched many of my dearest friends graduate and receive their Master of Divinity. A step I should, all going to plan, be taking next year. And with the endings and beginnings all wrapped up together it's hard to know whether I should be laughing or mourning.

For a pastor, particularly a young, single, female pastor, friends are vital to surviving the call. Those I watched cross that stage today are friends any pastor would be lucky to have and friends this future pastor will not let go of without a fight.

Blessings to my friends as they start a new chapter. May you never forget the chapter that just ended.
