<\/a><\/p>\nI\u2019ve been going to church since I was 16 years old. I\u2019ve been ordained as a minister for over 25 years. This is the first Sunday morning in I don\u2019t know how long when I am not going to church for a good reason. It feels very very strange to me. Not a bad strange. Just an unfamiliar strange. I\u2019m thinking of Rothesay Vineyard this morning. I miss them. Jon, who has replaced me, will do well. Of that I\u2019m certain.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
