At the Retreat

Just a quick thought about the pastor's retreat I am at. Dr. Mark Bailey, President of Dallas Seminary, is the speaker. Tonight he was speaking just to me--ever feel that way? Anyway, he was talking about the life of Joseph and all he went through. When it came down to the end, he knew it was God who led him to Egypt--for the purpose of saving his family. His brothers didn't send him to Egypt--God did. And so I was reminded that it is not the church of La Junta that is causing me to move on--it is God! What purpose does He have for doing this? We don't know yet--but we can definitely see God's hand in it all!

A fun fact for you...I went to moody with Dr. Bailey's son and daughter in law...

Yes, I told him tonight that you went to Moody and he and his wife thought it would have been at the same time as their son!
He is a great guy to have at a retreat--there are only about 40 of us here, but Dr. Bailey has strong connections with the CBA region and is friends with our Executive Director.
P.S. The Worship leader is a music grad of Moody but she was there a couple of years before you--her name is Kara G.! (I can't spell her long last name.)
