Mileposts

So every now and again, each of us comes to a point on the road of life that affords us a veiw over the way that we have come. Nothing special about this point, just a chance to reflect on the distance covered and direction traveled.

So I encountered one of these points today. I filled in running Easy Worship for second service. Ever since High School, even before, I have always been more comfortable on the side lines, usually on the technical side. I suspect this is because, if I am"working", then I don't have to really get involved. But today, I realized that I regretted having to run Easy Worship. Running Easy Worship requires thinking ahead and having the next set of lyrics ready. This prevents getting into the worship at all. And I regretted that. Note: I am still happy to serve. But, I think in the past, service has been an excuse to keep things at arms length. But that is no longer the case.
