As I typed an email to a younger Colleague who is beginning his first pastoral call, I realized that I was spilling my guts blogstyle... so... from the Interim Ministry Pilgrim, Bob.


Hey Brian - I wanted you to know that you are in my prayers as you begin your ministry in Vineland this weekend. I remember my first call and I think I was mostly afraid that people would discover that i didn't know what I was doing. I discovered that I did, in fact know what I was doing. What I didn't know was what I had gotten myself into! Then,and year after year of this ministry. Ministry is so much bigger than me, so much about the Spirit breezing around with apparent randomness and wonder, that it leaves me breathless and in awe. And sometimes wishing I could control God more so I'd feel better and get better personal "press"!

And thus concludes my Blog for the morning!

God Bless You, my friend!!
