Hi God,
So we’re to have a new pastor after all.
That’s nice … I guess.
Even changing from interim
to so-called settled
is still change.
and we don’t seem to do well with change,
even when it is appropriate and desired.
So my prayer today is that
we be able to greet Rev. Lisa with good grace
and embrace her without suspicion;
and that Rev. Lisa will be able to accept us with good grace,
And embrace us as we are, not as she wishes we were.
I also pray that together we grow into what you would have us be.
Finally, I pray that you have mercy on all our souls
sinners though we continue to be.
Amen
