I’ve gotten a number of kind messages stating that I was missed at our church on Sunday. I was preaching for a good friend and was out the whole day. A number of our folks have been expressive about my absence. It feels good to be missed. It tells me that people feel that the value I add to their lives is noticeable when it isn’t there. It seems that to be missed, two things have to happen: we have to matter to others and we have to go away occasionally.
