can't sleep...
this sux...
i can't sleep.....
i can't sleep because i was charged by the church to come up w/ something creative to present Lance (our pastor) with on his last Sunday which is this coming Sunday. to be honest i've been putting it off because i just don't want to accept the fact that he is leaving. but, none the less, tonight i buckled down and did it. i decided to create a video with photo's and music. i pulled photos of Lance and his family that have been taken since i came and put it to the song "i will remember you". i have to say, after i got done watching it was nearly in tears...
this is tough...he is the 1st pastor i have served under that i have been this close to...we live in the same neighborhood for pete's sack. this will be the toughest time i will have with a pastor leaving. i know that cherie is dying too. she's been helping traci (lance's wife) paint their townhome so they can sell it. she told me that she nearly broke into tears painting just thinking about the fact that they are leaving.
i know God is in control and he has a reason for all of this. but, it still hurts like crap! and i'm not really enjoying it at all.
oh well...maybe i will be able to close my eyes in a little while and be able to sleep to some degree...tomorrow a prospective interim is coming to the office to meet the secretary and myself...i have something like 30 some questions to ask him. i hope he's prepared to answer them...if not, he's going to feel REALLY uncomfortable...
we'll see how that goes.
