Happy ordination anniversary! I was very moved by this line, Celeste: "I don’t know that I could have imagined the pain that being a congregational pastor would bring to my life." Also, my great-grandfather also had a middle initial "J" that did not stand for anything! Although I think he chose it for himself - "John J Boot" just sounded better.
Really appreciated and needed this, Celeste. Thank you!
