Words to live by, continued….
Well, I'm back home after two much needed days of R&R in Southern California.
And I hate to move the inspired discussion in my last post off SGN's front page, but I had to share some amusing words from one of Fresno's finest pastors.
G.L. Johnson is retiring after pastoring People's Church(Fresno's largest church)for the past 45 years. The city of Fresno held a day in his honor yesterday. That's pretty amazing itself, that a major American city would hold a special day for a retiring minister, but G.L. is a special man.
Person after person came up to heap praise upon the pastor, and when it was his turn to speak, Johnson gave the perfect rejoinder for those who might become embarrassed after hearing a great deal of effusive praise heaped upon oneself.
He said, smiling, "May God forgive you for everything you all are saying, and may He forgive me as well for enjoying it so much.":-)
