I told my story

There were just three of us who shared our '40 days' reaction/testimony. And no sermon. I could have planned to speak more or have been more emphatic. But I hope my sharing of my thoughts from this blog were useful 'review', plus I wanted my metaphors to be more memorable as summaries of the book.

I closed by sharing two things I've written about here, but in my own words.
1. The development of a 'web ministry' at our church. I hope people got the idea that they are empowered, too. I should have said that.
2. That I've found my patron saint to be Jonah. I didn't call the congregation Ninahvites, tho.

The third person who spoke made a more emotional talk about being passionate and 'not leaving anything on the field' of life. I made the point with someone after the service that passion and purpose are not the same things. That's why Jonah is important to me--he did his purpose, regardless of his lack of passion for it. That's more my definition of professional--willing to do your job despite how you feel. Wait, that's what Christ did, too!

Don't worry--this won't be my last post. This spiritual/intellectual journal has fit my needs well, and I plan to continue notes here.
