thoughts on pastoral work

Ten years ago a fellow chaplain shared these thoughts with me… they are worth reconsidering…

walk closely with Christ

WANT TO be there

have people you can cuss at about work. your wife cannot sustain this

you are a safe person to others, keep objectivity

seek to be the safest person they know

I saw this pic (Picture credit: AFP, NASA) in an Economist artice (you should read, click here) and wanted to post it. How sad for the millions of North Koreans who live in such a dark place. Their poverty expressed in a dark night virtually creates line on a map.
