Today I returned from the Kern Scholar Retreat. Traditionally, this was the time that we as students were introduced to the Bob and Pat Kern, who made our seminary education possible. Unfortunately, for us they were no able to attend.
But how to say thank you? Sitting in our sessions, hearing all the things the Kern Foundation had done and is planning on doing for us, was moving. I realized then that the best way we will say thank you is not with words but with our life. Sitting there, it made me long to strive harder for the great goal before us-- to be good pastors: loving, preaching, caring, planning and all with a joyful sobriety that comes that we are clay vessels, carrying a great treasure and called for a great purpose.
