Yesterday I posted about how spiritual my up bringing was…not as far as religious training, but my, I don’t know, “bent” towards God and the spiritual was.
I have always had this deep connection with the spiritual. I still do.
My journey through Christianity seems like it was so long ago…a lifetime ago. I find myself thinking about it from time to time throughout the day, especially when asked about it.
Where I am at in my life now not many people know I used to be a pastor, which, in some ways, is nice. However, I still am very pastoral, and a lot of people have said when they find out, “yeah, I can see that”.
I find that when I talk about it that no matter how much I think I don’t care about that part of my life anymore I still do. For instance, today, a lady I work with invited me to join her at her church this Sunday for their “in gathering service” (not sure what that means…). She said it was a special service where they were going to make a push for an offering for something they needed.
I made some comment about not going because of company or something but in my head I was thinking “I will come when they announce they are selling their multi-million dollar building, firing all their highly paid staff, and using the money to help end poverty and hunger in Otsego county for the next couple decades, because Jesus was about ending hunger and poverty not about in-gatherings and special offerings for their budgets!”
Some church service that would be!
