But that s all right. To be honest, I m as excited and as ready as I can be. We are part of something greater than ourselves. And this is about following Jesus. I began this portion of my address talking about feet as a metaphor for discipleship.
Discipleship is essentially about feet.
But, I would like to suggest, it is also about hands. We are, as St. Paul taught us, the Body of Christ. So, allow me to ask you to do one more thing. On my visits to congregations I ve been asking us to do this. Would you reach out and shake your neighbor s hand.
