So tomorrow morning is my last Sunday morning at my church in Appleton before I transition up to NCU.  A week ago I had my last youth service, I just finished my last week of camp as a youth pastor and I just did my last wedding at our church a few minutes ago (praise the Lord).  That word "last" is an interesting word because it doesn't mean finished, but it means "that which is next before the present."  It is more of a joining word than a word that creates cessation. Isn't it interesting that we use the same word to describe a conclusion as we do to describe something that has the power to continue (I hope this feeling will 'last').  So I'm excited because I'm standing at this junction point.  This point that is now and not yet.  A point that sets a new minimum standard for what God has for me.  Like the Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount; He didn't end anything, but He stood at a junction point that launched something more amazing than we ever thought possible.  I'm sad to leave somethings behind, but I'm excited about what is about to begin.
