With to day being Pentecost and all and being done with my first year of seminary a month I have had a lot of time to think. This week I was at the New York Annual Conference of the UMC. Being a general conference year we voted on a lot of things. However for the first time I knew that I was able to provide answers to questions, I was the knowledgeable one. I'm not completely sure what happened between 2010 conference and 2011 that I became one with wisdom.
Yet this still makes me think about what someone said to me at the Drew lunch, 'don't rush seminary, because you will miss it when your gone'. Many people have said something along those lines to me but like the former dean said at the retirement of the academic dean 'don't be afraid of the next stage of life'. So maybe I have come to realize that I am a next stage of this adventure and have grown into what this stage entails.
You do not see the wind, but you know that its there. This is how it is with the Holy Spirit. You see the effects that it has on the world how it sweeps into places and pepple and clears the cobwebs away. Although the spirit can run amok sometimes its all for reasons we can't see but we know the effects. Maybe this is the reason why.
noun Iterency (noun) 1. an itinerating, or traveling from place to place 2. the state of being itinerant
