Having stumbled across your blog through PeaceBang's site, I find myself reading your account of struggling with the same envy I just struggled with (and blogged about) last night while watching an ohmigoshiwishiwerehalfasawesomeassheis pastor do God's thing via webcast. Thank you - I feel, if not better, at least not as alone in my less than graceful moments. Blessings on your ministry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5044820951794078204.post-26484126845882357612009-07-25T22:50:55.407-07:002009-07-25T22:50:55.407-07:00How I love your two comments here, Laura!

They remind me of one of my own rueful favorite parts of St. Paul, the part where he has to admit that he tends to do the things he doesn't want to do, and not to do the things he does want to do. Humans, what a package of paradoxes we are...and yet God loves us anyway, even when we are extremely annoying. Not a justification for being annoying, of course, but still a relief to remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5044820951794078204.post-45602293138526385552009-07-25T20:00:40.463-07:002009-07-25T20:00:40.463-07:00...but to find that somehow it still matters to me......but to find that somehow it still matters to me.

Have you ever heard a sermon or read a paper with more references and name dropping than actual message? The clergy are absolutely not immune.(Oh that ordination were as magical as that!) I remember as a youngster wanting to be the friend of the well-known or well-respected guy. I also remember wanting to be teacher's pet. So if my Mom wants to ask Jesus to give me pride of place, well, then!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791334456141756671noreply@blogger.com
