The Church Being The Church

This is the third installment as I attempt to answer the burning question, "Just what do ministers do all week?"

The first part of my day was spent at a funeral for Millie Beighle. Some of Millie's family are part of our ACC family. I attend a lot of funerals as a pastor, but it never gets easier. So sad that Millie's life ended so suddenly.

But now I'm watching our church family really step up. It's so cool to see our people here at the church building serving a great dinner to a very large contingent of Millie's family and friends. Basically, this is just the church being the church…and I love it.

My day has pretty much been involved with the funeral and the dinner. I'm trying to do some things in my office here and there, but I also want to be able to visit with the many people that are here.

Wednesday is normally my big study day as I prepare my sermon. Not today. Tomorrow I'll be out of the office for the majority of the day as I try to get some solid, uninterrupted study time.
