Do I miss being a pastor

 People ask me from time to time if I miss being a Pastor.  The short answer is "sometimes."

But there is a bigger answer.  A life issue kind of answer, and it goes like this.  I have come to recognize that I was not put on this earth to be a pastor, or to be a school teacher.  I was not put on this earth to own a company or be a real estate agent.  I was put on this earth to love people and be kind.  And so were you.

Whether we are engaged in a vocation or not.  Whether we like our work or not.  This basic principle holds true for all humans.  We were put on this earth, first and foremost to love others and to dispense kindness.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
