“Stinkin’ Cool Pastors” Alert
My Wife (left) & the Farrinas at Cheesecake Factory
Last Night I just hung out with some pastor friends, Tory and Elizabeth Farina. Talk about a fun couple! Seriously, every time I hang with them they make me feel like a million bucks (that’s a nice skill when you’re a pastor). As for me: I have an ability to make people around me more sarcastic. And, yes, that’s a gift too; but, I’m trying to acquire a few more gifts that will actually help me excel in the ministry.
Not surprisingly, Tory and Elizabeth call their church “Highpoint” …which is a great name by the way. It seems like everyone is naming their churches after golf courses, retirement homes, or any name that has a variety of tree. (Seriously, think about it). Of course, I can’t throw stones… after all, everyone thinks we’re a substance abuse support program. But, as for Tory and Elizabeth, they actually pastor right here in the Twin Cities… at a high school in Mendota Heights on the southwest side. Seriously, Substance people, you need to check out their church some Sunday. In fact, they’re just like Substance.
But anyways: Hats off to Tory and Elizabeth. You guys are rocking it. I’m just blessed to be friends with amazing people like you!!!!
