Great motivating thoughts. I think we have to constantly evaluate this in our minds to become and remain effective leaders. (I reposted on my blog if you don't mind...) :-) Wow!

Sometimes I feel like it's almost a sin to call being a children's pastor a "job" or "work" because I have so much fun doing it. Even though I am extremely passionate about what I do, I want MORE. As I am in ministry longer, (nearly 20 years now) I find it easier for me to keep the main thing the main thing. I have learned and am still learning my strenghts and weaknesses so I am giving it my all and surrounding myself with others that can make up for my weaknesses. Great post! Thanks for an excellant blog. I’m happy to say that I LOVE what I do more and more every day!

They didn't have Frap's or espresso. All they had were beans. Why, because that is what their passion was. Only after they mastered their first passion did they move on to making coffee. There is another post for you. Did you know that for the first 5 years you could not buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks. They didn’t have Frap’s or espresso. All they had were beans.

Great challenge for all of us either new ones just starting out or those of us who have been doing it for years. How's the temperature of the fire inside? Even when King Nebuchadnezzar was going to try and get the job done, he thought of firing up the furnace even hotter. It was through that fiery heat were the power of God was recognized. Turn up the heat!! Great post. Great challenge for all of us either new ones just starting out or those of us who have been doing it for years.
