Well, yesterday I gave you three links for the price of one, so forgive me if today I just do the joke.

YOUR PASTOR'S SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME IN THE WORK WHEN...
...he doth speak verily to his children and wife, nay, his very helpmeet, thusly.
...he's marked the evening paper out in chapters and verses.
...he answers his home phone, "First Community Church."
...a list of genealogies moves him to tears.
...he starts parsing the verbs in Golf Digest, making notes for a sermon in the margins.
...he considers all the mail addressed to the church as personal.
...he comforts his 3-year old daughter, who's just skinned her knee, with the knowledge that "this will make a good sermon illustration."
...he counts going home for lunch as a pastoral visit.
[Robert Alstadt in Leadership magazine]

WISDOM for YOUR WEEK: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)
