REFLECTIONS
A Christmas Meditation
The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
Isaiah 9:2 NLT
Letters from the new pastor- Dear Church, some days are diamonds
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
-Tom Petty
What IS the pastor doing, anyway?
When does a pastor get it right? Like, who lets a pastor know that he/she is doing their “job”— better, their vocation— successfully? Is it a board? The approving smiles and nods of the congregation or members? Other pastors? A denominational committee?
For that matter— what IS success? Who determines that?
Short answer (cliche even): God.
