Things went very well with That Church. I did manage to eat too much good food...but that's the price we pay in ministry. Oy. Veh.
So, here is what I know and what I can share online.
The meetings went very well. I feel I was as honest as poosible without being off-putting. I feel they were as well. It is a great church and a big job. So, we spoke about my current lack of experience, sometimes with aprehension, but mostly in terms of how we would all work together. That was great.
They have one more person to interview...on Super Bowl Weekend. Ugly. I will know more by the end of February. It felt really good. We all agreed on that.
The weekend could not have gone better. Superlative.
Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. I want to thank One of the Girls especially. We had a gig Friday night. I played the middle set after having dinner with the committee and went home to sleep before the day-long inquisition. The Girls cheered for me when I showed up and they cheered for me when I left. What an amazing group of friends...brothers, really. I am blessed.
Oh, Ref+, I did not cut my hair. I did trim my beard. Why should I lie?

Thanks for the comment over on my blog and the invitation. One question: What would an Episcopal priest wear to preach at a Baptist church?? I'm thinking my cope is out.
