Ministry

My ministries have been far-flung … some in the city, others miles down the interstate. The years have held success and disappointment as I’ve busied myself trying to fix broken bits of this old world. There are many understandings of what ministry might be. I am mostly set in my ways, believing that grand plans and great intentions are for naught next to the good that comes of spending a little time with someone … sharing a meal … listening closely to what is said … all the while trying to make sense of the human predicament … though no sense is ever made.
