Little Retreat - 4: Identity




This morning, as I was shaking hands outside the sanctuary, someone addressed me as "Reverend" for the first time.

As in, "Good morning, Reverend."

Something to think about.

    Identity or role?

    I think this is clearly a matter of identity.

    Well...ok then!!
    ;-)
    It took me a long time to figure the two out...and even now... I still have to stop and ask myself every so often....

    As I write, I am in the process of giving up a role I have filled for many years, and will soon begin to search for "what's next." But I do know this for sure...while it is and has been a very big part of my life (my living)...for me? it is just a role....

    Identity. I read the Gospel last night for a prayer service, the same one I wrote about for this week -- and contemplated identity and role.

    I want to stand in front of this picture all day...thanks!
