This is the weekend where we celebrate the second year of partnership of pastor and people here at Tabernacle Baptist Church. I am so blessed to be here and I am priviledged to have this wonderful divine assignment which allows me to pastor some awesome people. I must admit that I am a little uneasy with the whole celebration concept, especially with it centered around me. I have always had tough times with celebrations growing up, birthdays and holidays, because these occasions were not big in my family. The only big event that my family makes huge is graduations. I have also had some disappointing moments on days that are supposed to be joyous. I appreciate the tremendous effort that all are making to contribute to this memorable moment. I will write my reflections on the weekend next week. Please pray that I will allow myself to celebrate and enjoy the moment. Pray for safe travels for family and friends. Pray that this be a divine moment of reflection and rejoicing for what God has done and will do in my ministry and the life of the church. Peace and Blessings, RevCEGJr
PS: My father was supposed to be coming this weekend, but.............

It is in times like these that God shows you His true power. Disappointments may come to distract and destroy, but He will never leave or forsake you. It is truly your father's lost. Please know that his mistakes will not be yours. I will continue to pray for your strength as God is preparing you for even greater things.
Happy Anniversary, Pastor. Accept the many blessings that God has bestowed upon you and continue to walk in His will. Today will be a GREAT day.
Every day you wake up and get one more chance to do the will of God is a holiday and plenty reason to celebrate. At least that's how I look at each day so hopefully all of the love you're surrounded by combined with the spirit of celebration rubbed off on you a little bit. Hope you're not dreading your birthday because you know a big deal is going to be made about it!
