Like The Trees
In 2001, my first summer on staff at Calvin Crest, a man named Todd Holdridge brought up a group of high school students who he had met about a week before. He was their new youth pastor, and it was an extreme pleasure to be a part of their getting to know one another.
Tonight, while taking the junior high camp photo, I saw Todd. He told me that Lyndsay and I were “becoming like the trees,” permanent installations. At first I thought, “Man, what does that mean? Is it time to move on?” But I know that he meant it as a compliment, and I’ll take it as such. Besides, there are those who have been here much longer than we have, whose usefulness and relevancy are not nearly waning.
