Hey, I'm going to be out of commission for a little while. I've been having some pain from my surgery last year, and they're doing another procedure on Monday. God has provided all that I need, as it was totally unexpected (I just found out on Wednesday!), and even though I have really bad insurance, all my expenses have been providentially taken care of.
I saw something really funny, and I wanted to post it in honor of my good friend, Steve. I am so thankful for you, brother! I'm amazed at how our Great God has so blessed you and your family. I hope I can make it to Chattanooga soon!!!!!
You Might Be A Bivocational Pastor If...
(my favorites in bold)- In a business meeting at the job, you’re boss says something you agree with and you respond with a hearty, “Amen!"
- As you stand to preach on Sunday, you wonder if you remembered to clock in.
- In the break room, you’ve been known to announce, “Let us ask the Lord’s blessing on this food.”
- You take your Bible, briefcase, and box cutter to church.
- You can squeeze in a hospital visit during your lunch break.
- You have written sermon outlines with Sharpies on cardboard.
- When coworkers ask about your weekend they say, “So what did you do over the weekend?…oh, wait…never mind.”
- You wonder what full-time pastors do with all of their free time.
- Newbies on the job don’t know whether to use your given name or call you Father, Reverend, or Pastor.
- Multi-tasking is not efficiency – its survival.
- Your idea of a vacation is locking yourself in your office and studying all day.
- You enjoy the frightened look on your coworker’s face when you jokingly tell him that you mentioned him in your Sunday sermon.
