Giving Testimony! Our priest has asked me to give my testimony on January 9, 2005 at Epiphany Church in Denver. It is an honor and a formidable task. My Christianity is really all I am. How do I describe the long search, the side tracks, the blind alleys, the childhood songs and the adult choirs? It is tantamount to describing my "call", which Glenda Gay, my Methodist pastor wife, tried to preach on annually when she was appointed to a church in Baltimore county. At that time I was also a pulpit preacher, though not ordained. I served two small churches as a Lay Preacher, preaching in both every Sunday: combined attendance 50, perhaps. It was a wonderful experience. I preached from the leccionary and found obvious, vital messages every week in the scriptures and in the acting of the Holy Spirit in my heart. The last few years have been less structured, but I have been no less attentive to the leccionary and the messages.

Men's ministry is now the thing. Lord, show me what's next. I want to serve you, Lord and King. Be my guide and comforter in this "between" time.
