Things I've Been Thinking as a Pastor

(Please don't read this if you have a tendency to take things personally. These thoughts are not directed at any one individual. They are also just thoughts, and they are possibly wrong. But they are my thoughts none the less.)

1. People will always tell you they are coming, and then most won't. (Sorry to those of you who feel like that hits too close to home.)

2. It is hard to start a movement.

3. It is great when it dawns on people that they really can be a part of a church!

4. Most of the time I see the problem but don't know how to fix it, I generally just want to slap it around.

5. Satan's forces are at work.

6. The Holy Spirit is STRONG!

7. I don't rely on the Holy Spirit the way that I should.

8. I need to step up and become a catalyst.

9. Sometimes when things don't work out I look at how they have worked out for other pastors, and there's a moment, a brief moment, when I want to give up.

10. I'm gonna have to force myself to push that publish post button down there.
