I was a not-very-good full-time pastor for a few years. Since then I've worked a full-time job; have not been officially a pastor, but think I may be more spiritually useful.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043126.post-70153677024032642872008-06-15T20:54:00.000-06:002008-06-15T20:54:00.000-06:00JimI note that you started on Blogger the same tim...Jim<BR/><BR/>I note that you started on Blogger the same time I started. Neat.<BR/><BR/>I have struggled over the years about having to work another job other than just pastoring and preaching/teaching. But really its being a blessing. To reach the lost and unchurch has being really a blessing.<BR/><BR/>I would like to use the poem over at by Blogger. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy your site<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>CharlesCharles e.

It's always amazing how the Lord can speak through us in ways we don't expect, or can touch a need that we didn't know was there.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043126.post-9247918022857087452008-06-15T16:34:00.000-06:002008-06-15T16:34:00.000-06:00Having been in housekeeping for over twenty years,...Having been in housekeeping for over twenty years, pastoring churches for twenty years, I found this post rather nice.
