Pastor Joe

LAST NIGHT WAS A BIG NIGHT.
117 CAME TO WISH LOUISE AND I WELL AS I RETIRED AS PASTOR OF REFUGE AFTER 9 YEARS THERE.
IT WAS SAD, AND IT WAS FUN.
I PREACHED A VERY SHORT SERMON.
SEVERAL SAID NICE THINGS.
A PLAQUE WAS GIVEN.
GIFTS WERE SHARED.
THEN THE CROWD WAS FED-WOW!!!
SO HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE RETIRED.
NUMB STILL.
IT HASN'T HIT ME YET.
I AM LOOKING FOR CHURCHES THAT NEED A FILL IN, OR
A GUEST SPEAKER.
PRAY FOR US AS I ENTER THIS CHAPTER OF MY LIFE.
TODAY, I SHALL PAINT A PICTURE,READ SOME, WRITE SOME ON MY NEXT BOOK,
AND PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS.
AS I TOLD THOSE LAST NIGHT-YOU CAN STOP ME FROM BEING YOUR PASTOR,BUT NOT YOUR FRIEND.
MY BLOGS SHALL CONTINUE-PASTOR JOE
