100th Post!

Can you believe it?

OK, so it's not as impressive as a TV show's 100th episode. I mean, they only stay on the air if people are watching. Given that this blog goes on as long as I'm willing to pay for it and write, well then I'm really just celebrating my own sense of self-importance. I think that's worth it. Did someone bring cake?

Being that it is a milestone, I should reflect back. However, I did that just back in February. So I think I'd rather reflect on where God has brought me in my journey to be a pastor in that time.

1. I'm learning that righteous living is a calling all followers of Jesus have, regardless of emotions or circumstances.
2. Figuring out church organization and politics isn't nearly as important as helping people operate as the church in each other's lives.
3. Doctrines are important, but only as guideposts in knowing who God is.
4. Having a Father/Child relationship with God is more important than following religious rules
5. God is powerful. He can be trusted to do what He says He can do.
6. I can believe God.

It has been frustrating waiting on God. However writing this list I see that I'm like a NASCAR driver in the pit. God is working on me and to go early would be disastrous.
