Tuesday, boring Tuesday

Yesterday, Jennifer read the post about my Monday activities and said "hey, are you trying to legitimate the fact that you're a pastor so that other people might acknowledge it, too?"

Don't you hate it when someone knows you well enough to point your innermost faults out to you? I had to admit that she was right. I am doing it to attempt to legitimate my ministry to the people who feel that I shouldn't be allowed to be a pastor. Of course, this shouldn't stop me from continuing. But, in all honesty, if that's the reason for writing this series of posts, then I should stop doing it. Why waste my time trying to defend my calling to other people who most likely don't care if I'm a good pastor or not? I know that I'm called to be a pastor. My congregation feels that I'm called to be their pastor. Random location scouts and local police officers and kids who play ball in the street consider me a pastor. Even my former Wall Street colleagues who occasionally call and ask for spiritual advice consider me a pastor.

So no more posting about the schedules of my life - unless you're just dying to know that I occasionally take 10 minutes showers and eat bad Chinese takeout food.
