Why We Do Things

When I sit here on a night 36 hours before my department's annual D-Day I am grateful to be in this position. (I'm also grateful I'm not being graded on that awkward wording.) It's satisfying to know that soon there will be somewhere in the vicinity of 300 people around me, all training for the Lord's work. It's incredible to think that all this stress and these unknowns point to a moving experience spiritually and emotionally. I'm glad for the job I have, the ministry I have, and I realize why we do it. Sometimes I wonder why we Christian ministers slog it out. Then there are times like this. Stressful, yes. Busy, yes. Intense, yes. Overall, a great time!
