It just struck me as a good excuse to let folks know something of what a pastor's life is like. I'm not sure even our own folks have much of a clue about what we do with our time.<br />John McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239295465786034011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999348592503609924.post-1162413828651358092013-04-29T14:22:56.084-05:002013-04-29T14:22:56.084-05:00Thanks, Steve.

You left out one thing that needs to be said, and that is, the reward awaiting the "man of God" when we stand in His presence one day. Even though we don't deserve anything, we will accept it graciously and turn around and give it back to Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Thanks for this encouraging reminder to each Pastor.<br />Charles Mays <>< Phil. 1:3Charles Mayshttp://www.charleslmays.vpweb.comnoreply@blogger.com
