My current pastor has alluded to this as well. I sense the strain that he must shoulder. A new church building, doubling of congregation size in less than a year, 5 services every Sunday, too few staff, too many people wanting a piece of his time and energy. I have the sense that accomplishment feelings can be short lived. Kind of like a postal worker. You kill yourself to sort all the mail, and then each day the work starts from scratch all over again. I prayed for you then, and I pray for you now. However, you have helped shape me into the man I am today. You matter and are appreciated. Blessings to you.

Thanks Daniel. Nice to hear that. The hard words are always quicker to receive.
