The Joy of Being a Pastor

I wanted to take just a moment to relate a quick story. We have VBS this week. A little girl asked me, "Pastor, do you like your job." To which I responded, "Yes. I certainly do." It is such a joy to be able to be a Lutheran pastor. At times, you can lose your patience, your hair and your sanity; but, I can not think of anything else I would rather be doing. As a fellow pastor is apt to say, "The Word works." It is such a joyous experience to participate in this God-ordained office.
