This is the beginning of a blog that I hope will document the things that God is doing through me personally and through the church I am serving as its pastoral care director. I am not sure who will be reading this or if anyone will read and try to follow but I will be as faithful to the postings as I can. So, if you are following or are interested please pray that I will be able to record some of the things that go on during a day in the life of a Pastoral Care Pastor.
Today, Friday March 26, 2010 is the beginning and today is my “normal” day off. My wife will be going out of town on a business trip and she leaves tonight. This morning after walking my dog…little terrier…for her “morning constitution” I begin looking over a message I will be sharing with the staff at the national headquarters of Prison Fellowship. My message is about whether God makes mistakes and as I was thinking and praying about this I thought I should at least share something regarding Easter, since we are entering into a season whereby we remember the last week of Jesus’ life. That’s still in the process. Finished doing my daughter and granddaughters taxes and got them filed. After lunch I took my weed blower to Sterling Mower. Had to replace the fuel filter and the plastic tubing…Chris who works behind the counter got me the necessary material and then actually did the work for me…great customer service!! I recommend them for all small engine repairs. Since I “really needed” a haircut I then proceeded to the barber and got my “ears lowered” as we sometime say.
Since this is the end of my work week, so to speak, let me summarize the week quickly…
Sunday – great message by Pastor Kent, I taught a class on the Truth Project. Later in the evening had a scheduled counseling session before our monthly prayer and praise meeting
Monday – very busy with one appointment right after the other all morning…one lady wanted to know how to listen to God…she asked Jesus into her life and now she will be able to more clearly hear what the Master has to say.
Tuesday – again several appointments, one gentleman asked Jesus into his life; made one hospital visit and bought grape juice for communion…25 bottles…that’s a lot of juice…
Wednesday – made a home visit in the early morning before going to the office, had several appointments in the afternoon leading up to our evening bible classes…I am teaching Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class…people are really are getting set free.
Thursday – many meeting…another young lady asked Jesus into her life and had a session with another person who works way too much…shared how they should be taking some Sabbath rest for their sake…
So, there you go…sorry for it being a little long this time but as I write each day they will not be that long…blessings to all of you and “keep your eyes on the cross”
