I thought I would jot down a few thoughts while I am waiting. I am waiting on a reporter from the newspaper to do an interview. I am really uncomfortable about this. The article is going to be about a recent honor I received from my alma mater. If you are like me you don't like talking about yourself. If you really want to know what a person is like you need talk to someone who knows them. The Bible says, "Faithful are the words of a friend." Uh, oh? She's here. I'll be back in a minute.
I'm back. Thankfully that's over. I always feel unworthy when asked things like, "How many members did you start with and how many do you have now?" Or, "How many times have you had to build to handle all the people?" What about, "Why do you think you were given this award?" What do you say?, "Obviously you haven't heard my silver tongued soliloquies or you wouldn't have to ask." Even though I am careful to give God the credit for every good thing that has happened in my ministry I'm not sure reporters ever write that sort of thing down. So if you happen to read the article in the next week or so just take it with a grain of salt. The only thing you can be sure I said was that Jesus deserves all the credit. Oh, yeah, I might have said something about being handsome and looking young and fit for my age. I'm sure she was just too flustered to mention it herself.
Talk with you soon,
Pastor Ken
