I've been an ordained minister for thirty years serving as youth pastor, senior pastor, denominational
executive, and now minister of communications at a large church. And every year, it's become a harder and harder
task: unrealistic expectations, carnal board members, furnances that only break down on Saturday night—in January—etc. etc.
So, here are some resources, words of
encouragment and excerpts from my humor column each issue of Rev. magazine.
