It never ceases to amaze me how organized I need things to be some times. When most people looked at my room in my apartment they probably never would have thought that I was a stickler for organization. Things need to have order though. It’s something I always want, but rarely can ever completely have. I always have to be expecting possibilities that exist ahead of me and be ready to use flexibility and never get phased by some of life’s curve-balls.

Ministry is one of those things this summer that college has prepared me well for; a communion or offertory meditation – they could be thrown on me at the last minute and I’d still be fine – I’m always coming up with new ones as I go through life. Sermons, on the other hand, are something that I could probably never do at the spur-of-the-moment. One of the challenges for me is figuring out how much order I need around me in order to thrive. I know it’s kind of self-centered, but this summer is a time where I need to figure it out before I become too attached and set on my vocational path and my choice on a future school.
