Hello all! I know that not too many people read this blog, but I wanted to state something here for the record: Why is it that Pastors are always supposed to be "up"? Why is it we always have to be happy and upbeat? I'm not sure I think it's proper for that to be a part of the life of a pastor. I think it seems to be portraying an attitude that says, "Hey! Look at me! I've got it all together and there's nothing wrong in my life!" I have to say that that just isn't true!

Today I sit here and rehash the past 12-18 hours of my life. In it, I have seen people misunderstand, misquote, misjudge and flat out misrepresent. I'm frustrated because I know that the way things SHOULD BE is NEVER the way things ARE! And so I brood sometimes. I sit back and think and wonder, "Why? Why does it have to be this way? Why can't we just understand that the things that happen, happen for a reason and that God is still in control? Why do we have to be so manipulative and controling?"

I really wish I had the answer, but I don't. If you are reading this, you are probably interested in my life, and my ministry or both. And I thank you. But I would like to ask you to pray for me right now. I'm in desperate need of an uplift from my God. Thank you very much, and God bless you!
