My brother Joel is now a pastor. So that makes him Pastor Joel. Or, for me, Brother Pastor. (Or perhaps, Pastor Brother?)
He's new and fresh and barely out of the starting blocks. I'm incredibly proud of him . . . and incredibly excited for the journey he and his wife, Melissa, are beginning.
Really he should be Pastor Brother times two. He's serving two churches in two towns in beautiful north-central Montana.
We got to see their new church homes:
Messiah Lutheran in Havre
The boys were playing "Pastor". Hey! Now there's three pastors!
Check out Blazer. Nice.
Stained glass-ness.
Christ Lutheran in Big Sandy
Checking out the Christmas costumes.
Playing in Aunt Melissa's new preschool room.
Dead bat in the garbage can. Double nice.
Church family tree
Uncle Pastor with the boys
New Preschool Teacher Melissa & Pastor Uncle Brother
or more appropriately, continues.
Because we're always beginning new journeys . . . which string together . . . new into old . . . old into new . . . continuing the beautiful, messy journey called life.
Amen, brother!
