On this date

I was ordained into the Office of the Holy Ministry ten years ago. I am just as unworthy now as I was then of the office I was called into.

Personally and professionally many things have changed. Yet the ministry has not changed for it remains a joyful burden. Sin abounds but grace abounds even more.

What a privilege to be a servant. Lord, forgive my attempts at 'lord-liness'. Cleanse my spirit of desire for prestige. Create in me the ever-fresh willingness to love your people and serve them in the way they deserve to be served.
