From my Pastor's Heart

It is hard for me to believe that I haven't posted here for almost a month. But as I think about it I really can understand why that has been. July has been one crazy month for this Pastor. I haven't really figured it but I would guess I have logged more hours of ministry in this one month than I do across two months at other times of the year. A trip to San Antonio for IYC a week of preparation for VBS and this week is VBS. This does not include all the administration, sermon and lesson prep and hospital visits and errands and the list just keeps going. Over the past couple of days I have stepped back, mostly at 1 AM, and asked why am I doing this? The answer is simple as I understand it. I am doing this because people need Jesus and I want to everything within my power to make this a reality for as many as I can. If that means endless hours o working at so be it. I confess sometime I feel very alone in this process. I often wish I had some help. But when the help doesn't come I will still be doing what I do because People need Jesus and Christ has given us Christians that responsibility.
