Confessions of a Small Town Pastor: Patience Required
http://pastoralconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/05/patience-required.html
Confessions of a Small Town Pastor. The greatest truths are lived in the smallest details. Saturday, May 09, 2009. Of all the fruit of the Spirit, I think the one that I struggle the most to cultivate is patience. Others who observe me might not think this so, given that I can be perceived as quiet and easy-going. But talk to my wife and she will relate a different story! People who live with you inevitably know you better than people who are only—sometimes at best—acquainted with you. Fruit of the Spirit.

In case any of you were wondering, I asked permission of the couple who inspired this post for permission to include it on my blog. They were more than happy for me to post these thoughts. Like a mighty flame.

Confessions of a Small Town Pastor: No More Endless Summers
http://pastoralconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-more-endless-summers.html
Confessions of a Small Town Pastor. The greatest truths are lived in the smallest details. Tuesday, July 07, 2009. No More Endless Summers. After DVBS we begin three weeks of vacation, time-off which will involve spending time with family, going tenting, hanging out at my in-laws camp, and, hopefully, getting some relaxing reading done. Of course, given the phone calls I await, our vacation could find itself edited in one way or another—that’s part of what it means to be a pastor. Without waxing nostalgi...

Confessions of a Small Town Pastor. The greatest truths are lived in the smallest details. Friday, May 08, 2009. The Story of My Life (Receiving the Call): Part Three. Below is the last autobiographical portion of my association license application, and rather than recount details of ministry and life I try and express my experience of call. For me sensing and being sure of a call to ministry has always been a struggle. Hopefully I make clear why. Posted by Pastor Derek. Labels: call to ministry. Explori...

Confessions of a Small Town Pastor: A Fish Funeral
http://pastoralconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/05/fish-funeral.html
Confessions of a Small Town Pastor. The greatest truths are lived in the smallest details. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Now, if we hadn’t already been giggly, that drove us over the edge. Anyway, we successfully managed to prepare the coffin and get the fish inside. We taped it shut (in case, I don’t know, there was some sort of weird fishy resurrection? And set it aside until the next day when we would tell Ella, our four year old. Posted by Pastor Derek. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thankfully, the g...

Confessions of a Small Town Pastor: Divine Friendship
http://pastoralconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/05/divine-friendship.html
Confessions of a Small Town Pastor. The greatest truths are lived in the smallest details. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. In thinking about this, I realize something else. It’s not really about going to a movie once in awhile. More is going on than a desire to get out on occasion for some fun social time—though I would definitely welcome more of that! To put it more practically, only when I experience friends praying with me (and for me) can I sometimes understand how it is that God is personal—and that ...
