I know you come here for the fabulous photos and scintillating writing, or so I tell myself over and over and over. However, today and tomorrow are more personal. This morning I leave for the final quarterly meeting I will attend before I retire after 35 years of trekking to these meetings. I remember my first one in a church basement on uncomfortable metal chairs next to a very noisy air handler. A lot has changed in that time. We are now the Waypoint Church Partners covering multiple states with multiple staff - then we were the Virginia Evangelizing Fellowship serving the Commonwealth of Virginia with the sterling Marion Harris. I started by developing a new church planting strategy as a volunteer, was giving a small stipend, then part-time, full-time and had every title they could think up. After thousands of miles, hundreds of churches served or started and countless coffees I soon step away from Waypoint and will miss the people I work with and will celebrate the opportunities God has given me. It has been a privilege to see the Kingdom expand and work with superior men and women across the board.
