Church Thoughts

I am having trouble getting things straight in my head, so maybe someone can help me with it.

I work at a church. Ideally this means my work is ministry and that means that I get to spend my days leading people to live out what it means to be followers of Jesus and I get to invest all of my resources into this. Realistically, that means that I work for a western, bureaucratic, capitalistic machine that values perfection, well balanced budgets and "the bottom line."

I know that there is nothing different in my frustration. I am sure that all over the country there are several people with the same questions.

Actually, I just want to meet all of the people that I should be afraid of. People keep telling me about them. "They will not like it..., they might get upset..., they are going to question this..., they will have you fired...,etc..."

Oh well, I am going to keep doing this and if I philosophically disagree with "them" then...well, ok.
