Hello everyone at Eastminster, and also to my great friend Izabela. I just have a few words to say - I'll be very brief.
Certain things in life are easy: watching TV, ordering dim sum (they come around on the carts and you just point at the dishes you want), falling into or out of love.
Certain things in life are beautiful: the tuning of an orchestra before a show, the taste of a slice of carrot cake, the sound of rain falling on a porch.
Certain things in life are hard: stilted conversations between a son and his long estranged father, learning to sing The World Beloved, a Blue Grass Mass (which we perform next Sunday night, oh please do come!), making meaningful and ethical career choices - these are all hard things for me.
But there is only one part of life I've experienced thus far that's easy, beautiful, and hard all at the same time - and that is following Jesus and his call, reading and thinking about the Bible. And as this part grows to become the whole of my life - I can say that I have never lived before I knew him, and now I am truly blessed to be baptised with all of you here.
Thanks be to God, and to you all.
