Now you tell me...
“Pastoral work is slow and tedious. Be patient. It’s not easy or exhilarating. It’s plodding. In some ways its easy. Just stay there and be faithful. Pray. Know the names of the people in your community. Trust them and see them as blossoming saints, even if they don’t act like it.” Eugene Peterson

The longer i do this the more i appreciate the words and wisdom of EP. I prefer this paraphrase of his last sentence: "believe the best in them even when your lied to, stabbed in the back, publicly humiliated, and your closest friend betrays you." Oh the joys of it all...LOL
