Musings by Rev. Jim Flagg - "Holding each other up"

(Tribune)

Autumn is definitely in the air (along with its allergens). The last couple of mornings it was in the mid-50s when I got up. It was glorious. It reminded me of my time serving up in East Texas (the Tyler, Longview, Henderson Metroplex). I was serving my first appointment as a barely minted pastor and had a three-point charge. Simply put, that means I was the pastor of three country churches who could not afford a pastor on their own. It was a delightful time and I learned a great deal. The members were almost all related to one another in one way or another.
