What a thoughtful and beautiful post; it was an honor and a blessing to be a part of your journey, and we were so fortunate to have you (and Ned!) be a part of ours! Sending prayers for a smooth re-integration into your ‘other life’, and also, a loving reminder that you are always—ALWAYS—welcome here at STRC! Thank you for all of the hard and good work of shepherding, pastoring, and truth-telling you did during your time here. It is already bearing fruit, and I pray and trust that it will continue to do so. Thank you for being such a wonderful colleague, boss, and friend. Blessings to you and yours as you continue to discern what God has in store for you in this next chapter.
