Yesterday I got to do one of the things I really love doing about my job. One of the good things. I got to help a friend. Specifically, a friend who is a seminary student and new minister.
I had an opportunity to sit down with this friend and talk through some issues and help him develop a plan of attack. In the midst of all of the Tuesday things that had to be done yesterday, I got a chance to slow down and help someone. That is always a good day! Those other things are necessary, too: Staff meeting, a little project on the physical plant, a quick trip to the hospital. But, when I get to directly help someone who needs a little, that makes my day!!
Last week, a couple of pastors from Saddleback spent 90 minutes in a video conference with me and one other pastor (from New York City). The entire purpose of this was for them to pour into us and our ministries. I have always LOVED that about Rick Warren and Saddleback. And it is nice to be able to pay that forward a little!!
