Blogging just ain't gonna happen for him ... ever. We have a younger assistant pastor, but he won't blog because there is a danger someone might disagree with his sermon. Blogging takes humility and a thick skin because you may get blasted. I admire pastors who have these qualities. Our pastor has just begun to discover the wonders of email … but he can’t type.

It depends upon how large the church, the area, and those who are elderly or those who are very sick. My dad spent hours, upon hours daily visiting the sick. He was called by those who had NO pastor, but wanted someone to visit, and my dad NEVER said no. Sometimes dad would come home as late as 10:30 after spending time at the VA hospital. YOU WRITE:...... : "Granted, we don’t have children that need raising, <b>but everybody makes time for what they want to do.</b> Pastor's make time for what <b>GOD calls them to do,</b> it is HIS calling it's not what THEY want to do but what GOD calls them to do. No one is called to to the same things, we must always keep this in mind. Hi Cameron 15

Pastor’s make time for what GOD calls them to do, it is HIS calling it’s not what THEY want to do but what GOD calls them to do. No one is called to to the same things, we must always keep this in mind.
