Congrats,sounds like a sweet bow!

Thanks, Bill. I am grateful indeed for the years of ministry thus far. I have a friend in Indiana who retired as an executive from Proctor and Gamble 2-3 years ago and he has been emphasizing the same thing--the end of one thing is simply the beginning of something new. I'm pretty excited to see what the Lord has to put on my plate next.

Dave, I'm sure all of those you've served faithfully for so many years will miss having you in the pulpit, but Im also sure the Lord has other important roles for you.  (You never know when someone might be needed to fill a short term mission role in a remote Alaskan village overun with caribou, mooose and bear, for example.. lol)  Whatever you do, God bless and best wishes for tomorrow with your congregation and the rest of "retirement".  Maybe we'll meet up again in Maine sometime.

Hmmm, Don, hadn't thought of that possibility.
