As we reflect on what it means to follow Jesus, what it is that we must give up to be a Christian, this video suggests that maybe that which we fear giving up is just extra baggage that makes any journey a difficult one. What do you think? What am I carrying that makes my following of Jesus so difficult? Maybe if I give up that which I am carrying I can make it to the top and experience the living presence of Christ in an amazing way!
The observations, stories, and reflections of a pastor on the coast of Maine. How do life, ministry, and the Good News connect?

About Me
- David Abbott
- I have been serving as a Minister in the United Methodist Church since 1992. I began as a student pastor in Bynum, NC while I attended Duke Divinity School (I know, it's supported by tobacco money and has a Blue Devil as the mascot!). In 1996 I was apppointed to serve the Belfast UMC in Belfast, Maine. I have been married for over 25 years to a wonderful woman and we have been blessed with two boys (ages 23 and 21).
