“Back in the Saddle”

June 17, 2009

Howdy Folks!

 Well, sabbatical ended and it was a very good experience for me. I am very glad to be back at ARPC and am deeply thankful to God for the privilege of serving this wonderful congregation. It is really not too difficult to get ‘back in the saddle’ as the needs and challenges of this community of faith require my immediate involvement.

And I have moved again. This time I live at Trellis Point right next door to Art and Jean Bowman (I couldn’t have better neighbors!) One of the men in the neighborhood invited me to the Men’s Breakfast Group and I responded… “Isn’t that for old men?” → He just looked at me. Old man that I am, I’m not ready to throw in the towel or as Mike says “to be put on the shelf.” God never puts anyone on ‘the shelf’ – that is always the work of human beings with too narrow vision.

Don’t forget our ARPC Produce Stand is back and all the veggies, etc. we bring will go to the Somalia refugee families.

Enjoy these summer days!

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Ron
