We have had several guys who are interested in leading the student ministry after Todd and I move to Acworth.  These are guys who will serve in an interim type position until Crosspointe can find the full time High School and Middle School Pastor to come on board. 

Last night one of these guys came to hang out at H2O to get a feel for who we are, etc.  I showed him around and talked to him quite a bit after the event was over.  He loved every aspect of what we did and he seemed like a cool guy.  Keep in mind that this may or may not be the guy.  He might even be a better fit for MS than HS.  Still very early in the game.  This is where it gets a little weird…

From the moment I saw him I had mixed emotions about the whole thing and I couldn’t figure out why.  It’s almost like I was trying to figure out reasons to hate him and throw him off a bridge.  Before you think I am a lunatic, here is what it felt like…

Imagine being married and knowing that you are going to die in 2 weeks.  Because you love your family - you are conducting interviews, etc. to help pick out the best person on the planet to take care of them.  But then it hits you.  You are interviewing and hanging out with the person who is going to be married to your wife and take care of your kids. 

No matter how much you like the guy - that is a pretty strange reality.
