I am so stoked! Waves of excitement
are rippling off my being! Oh, you say, you didn’t notice that. Well, neither
could my first year college suite mates. They thought I was reading the obits
or something serious when I was devouring the funnies. I was laughing
uproariously inside.
This is better than a kid in a
candy shop. Today, my big brother flies in to town; some of my closest friends
will drive in on Monday; and Max’s professors are letting him take his Monday
exams on others days--all to be at the Wesley Theological Seminary Commencement
ceremony to be held at the National Cathedral. I will be wearing an academic
gown with three stripes on the sleeves and a puffy six-cornered tam, along with
the academic hood in WTS colors. I am getting my Doctor of Ministry degree!
Some have wondered what I plan to
do with my doctorate. Big changes are in store! Are you ready for this? Drum
roll, please!
I plan to be the
pastor of Christ Crossman, that’s what!
And you don’t even have to call me
The Rev. Dr. Morris.
I’m still Pastor Mochel, and I am
still very much who I have been.
There are changes though. I have
learned a lot through this process, and all that has come along with it in the
past couple of years. I am ready, able, and willing to help lead C2UMC
in our next great adventure—reaching out into the community to be the most
amazing part of God’s Kindom that we can possibly be. The ride will be an
exciting one, so hold on to your hats. God has great things to do with us and
through us.
Psalm 98:4
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break
forth into joyous song and sing praises.
