I am now preparing to go to Hilton Head to a Kingdom Leadership conference sponsored by the South Carolina Baptist Convention. Several months ago I received an invitation to this conference of which I had never heard. Apparently you must be nominated for an invitation (and I have NO IDEA who nominated me). I had to promise NOT to bring my kids, to attend every session, and to stay THROUGH lunch on Sunday. Okay, easy enough.
What I did not know when I committed and paid my fee was that several months later (in January) our men’s ministry would want to put the Wild Game Supper on the calendar for this very weekend . . . Sorry, guys. Now one of the difficult things about being a pastor is the dilemma I am caught in: I need to go to this conference (the timing of it and what Ebenezer is facing is PERFECT) but I know there are folks that will be mad at me for not being there on Saturday. (This might sound ridiculous, but such is the life of a pastor.)
Pray for Diana and me this weekend. I know God is in this and I am excited!!! And pray that any of those fellows won’t get too mad at me 🙂
