Well, it has been over a month since I have posted anything. It is not because I have run out of words. On the contrary, there is much vocabulary in my mind. And I have been writing other things. Sermons. Since I have taken on this coastal pastorate, there has been little time to write any thing else. Even though it is part time, two sermons a week are needed, one for the morning service and one for the evening service. And then there is a Bible study to prepare. I am not complaining, but is has left me short on time to write my posts. And to take pictures. I have not done much with my photography website either.
But I have enjoyed preparing messages. And messages that matter. Millions of words are written, spoken, and sung every day, but only some that are lasting. It is enjoyable to laugh and tell amusing stories, and even to sing current songs, but very few words will make a difference in the lives of people. And that is what I want to do. Give, speak, and write words that effect change, or the potential to change people’s lives.
Now it doesn’t mean that I won’t write funny stuff and still post humorous things on the old social network and all, but for the most part, it’s time to be serious. I have been quite stirred in my mind and heart since I have resumed pastoring. It has helped me to see the need in humanity. The need to be loved, the need to matter, and the need for meaning. And I want to be a part of that.
Gotta go.
