The Pastor thing

There are some days when ministry – the vocational type – tips various balance points in the minister’s life.

Today I was a little late to arise.  I felt the need to rejuvenate so I wasn’t up until shortly after 8:00.  I only had to brush up on my sermon, along with attending a funeral. 

Until I found that one of my parishioners was in the hospital.  And another parishioner, whom I had not spent time with for some time, invited me out to lunch.  As the afternoon completed, I found that I was energized by Jesus.  Not a bad thing.

For all the best plans, sometimes there are other plans.  And I need to be ready to flow with where God is headed.

    Interesting that a pastor has his day almost planned for him !! Must be great to be so “adjustable” to the happenings of the day !
