Saturday thoughts

Sitting at IHOP eating, praying, planning and pondering how blessed I am to be in Odessa...

I can't imagine being anywhere else. I've felt that way about my other three ministry stops the past (almost) 30 years. I've never been a "grass is greener over there" type of minister. I know plenty who are. I've heard of pastors who are always shopping their resumes looking for a vertical move toward larger churches, more money, speaking engagements and the like. That just isn't me.

I'm pleased that in each of the places I've served there have been people that God has placed in my path that I have been able to develop a relationship with and influence them to become more dedicated followers of Christ. There haven't been thousands like Peter influenced on the Day of Pentecost... more like Phillip in Acts 8.

My point? Still a mystery even to me... Actually the point is a "bloom where you are planted" thing and be grateful that the Lord of the universe chooses to allow to be a part of the process!
