A baptismal service is just such a ... celebration! You know, as I read what you wrote, I thought about all the people in the Bible who were exactly God had called them when He saved them: in their home-towns, doing the will of Christ. I think of Priscilla and Aquila, Lydia ... It's interesting to me, because my wife and I are seeing an emerging picture of where God is calling us next: right back home to help take care of family! "Oh, the places you'll go!" Sometimes, right back home is right where God wants us! Bless you as you serve Him!

It’s interesting to me, because my wife and I are seeing an emerging picture of where God is calling us next: right back home to help take care of family! “Oh, the places you’ll go!” Sometimes, right back home is right where God wants us! Bless you as you serve Him!

I do agree about being somewhere you have a real history. It's a special feeling. Good to go elsewhere, but always look forward to going home again. I'm not sure that I could do what you do, even if health allowed. I need to be within my comfort zone most of the time. But I like to think that if I really thought God was calling me to go somewhere different, that I would go. I do believe, though, that God wants me at Godmanchester for the time being -- the Church I've been at for the majority of my Church history.
