The End: Even as I write this, I still haven’t come to grips with how I feel right now. Today I preached my final sermons at Fairview as their preacher and possibly my last sermons ever as a local preacher. I will still preach regularly, but I won’t be “the” preacher or “our” preacher. For essentially all of my adult life I have been a local preacher. Truthfully, it’s all that I know. But, it has come to an end. I will still be teaching Bible class this Wednesday night, but I won’t be in that pulpit as their preacher anymore. Each new day will be a mystery as I try to figure out who I am and what I’ll do now that I’m not a local preacher.
