Fishing report: May 8, 9, &10

I always spend a few days before Mother's Day fishing for trout in the White Water Valley not far from Altura, Minnesota. The valley has really changed since rains at the end of August last summer.

The White Water River has changed from the River I've fished with friends since college; in a matter of a day the channel moved, rocks ended up where they'd never appeared before.

I caught my full limit of trout and now I'm anxious to start to eat.

I'm almost ready to start thinking about church again (beyond preaching and visitation) after a couple good days off. Right now members of the church council and I are contemplating shared ministry: that means we will have multiple pastors on a staff with no senior and no associate pastors; just two or three people called pastor sharing the ministry. It's a relief to me to have a different model to look at right now. I don't much look forward to working with a new senior pastor, nor do I feel ready for the job: and this point in the middle seems to be best.

Who knows what's next? I guess it's time for discernment.
