All the time

Another pastor recently asked me: "Do you ever worry - what if I'm wrong and am leading these people astray?"

I answered, "All the time."

We both looked at our coffee, and neither one of us said anything more about it.

I've been thinking about that, and I still don't know what to say. I remember several years ago listening to an old pastor explain how he has stayed in ministry for so long. He said, "I just get up every day, put on my clothes, and go to work."

I suppose I should get dressed...

...and he added, "if you ever decide to leave the ministry, just skip step one."

...and if you want to be ASKED to leave - skip step 2.

if you want to skip it all and sleep in, that always "Feels" better....
