I am in Holland at my parent's home. I am in the home of the Deurty Old Man!

Family in town... Marios pizza at Tunnel Park... Kids swimming in diapers...

One day I will be old and I will put on an adult sized diaper and I will call that "freedom." hmmmmm...

Baptism celebration this Sunday. One gathering: 10 am. Dunking begins at 6pm at Northbeach in Ferrysburg. Baptism is the best moment in being a pastor. IT is like the Superbowl.. the payoff... the picture of the journey in motion... Why do I keep doing these dots.........?

Anyways - I thought I would check in. I am still giving thought, prayer and conversation about who a pastor is and what a pastor is called to do. The idea that I become a symbol of niceness for the surrounding culture - a chaplain to it - makes me want to throw up. Place head in toilet - hear the cries for needs to be met - open mouth and empty the stomach's contents.

MMMMMMMM I feel better.

I am reading the final book in Stephen King's Dark Tower Series. It is an unbelievable series and I would love to make it in to a mega series that rivals the Lord of the Rings. I love the books and think Steve King is a genius. When I am done I am jumping on a book that Dave Drury sent my way.

The summer's last gasp is in swing.

Rick Astley is more talented than people give him credit for.
