There have been few Sundays in my time as a pastor here or in Sioux Falls that I looked forward to with greater anticipation and excitement than October 11. Our Be the Church Service Sunday was setting up to be a wondrous experience of God at work within us and through us. I was excited about the "buzz" around the community and about where this would lead us. I cannot tell you the disappointment I felt on Sunday morning when I woke up feeling as I did. Cough, fever, aches. Similar things taking place around my house with the rest of my family. My disappointment on Sunday morning was in the reality that I was not going to be able to share in all of it with the community of faith.
