Following Christ
13 Sep 2009
Did you know what you were letting yourself in for? When you ... said you would teach Sunday School, help with a church roster, serve on Church Council, do some other ministry ...?
Most people have a kind of bemused awareness that the job turns out to be bigger than they thought (or were led to believe). But most of us grow with the job and the challenge.
Following Christ is the same, only more so. We do not know what will happen. It is the great life risk – to let someone else take complete charge of our life. Many of us have struggled with this – we want to know what it will be like, we want to negotiate some guarantees in advance.

Dads

“My dad is/was ...” How would you finish the sentence? My dad is going strong at 89, still drives the car and plays bowls. But I remember many things: going fishing with him, taking him bushwalking and mountain climbing, learning how to bowl leg breaks (even though he was a fast bowler), watching him sing bass in the choir and serve as a church warden for many years.
All of us have memories – some good, some bad, some ambiguous. Many of us still have day to day experiences of our dad – some good, some bad, some ambiguous.
