Doing the Math on My Vocation

Why I should not be a pastor:
I stole money from an employer when I was in high school.
I had plenty of sex outside the sacrament of marriage.
Being a pastor feeds my big head.
I hardly ever pray.

Why I am a pastor:
God called me anyway.

Dear Anonymous Poet,

I dare you to out yourself. Come on, please? Your poem makes my day, rocks my world, tells my story and that of countless other church ladies. I want to read more of your stuff.

i love it.
how true.

Yes! Yes! Exactly!

yep! Thanks for this reminder. :-)

Amen. Amen!

If someone walked into my office right now and saw the huge smile on my face they would probably ask me to go see a psychiatrist or up my dosage on my medication.

I have a feeling if God called only Pastors who didn't have sex before marraige, that we would have many many many less churches!

I think I will print this out in nice type on nice paper, frame it, and hang it where I can see it every day!

the best.

it can't be said better. wish more people understood that.
