I was talking to a friend today and telling them that one of my dreams is to pastor one church for life. I have absolutely no desire to be anyplace else doing anything else. I don’t care how many people or how much money a church had. There isn’t even an ounce of temptation.

I’d never thought about it or described it this way, but I said it’d be like putting one of my kids up for adoption. Can’t imagine it. I love National Community Church and I love Washington, DC. I want to spend the rest of my life giving everything I’ve got to this church and this city. Then you can cremate me and scatter my ashes in the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. If that is legal, of course!
