As I look to the next few weeks when I will begin to live into my "chosenness," I realize how special the ordination day is in Baptist life. It is the only time that a mosaic of me will be in a room together and send me forth with their mark of approval. It is the time that they have set me apart.
And that is something I will remember for the rest of my life.
With each ordination, I remember a little more about my own.
With each whispered prayer I offer, I remember why I responded to this choosing.
With each friend that commits to this, I feel a little less alone.
We have one another.
