Pat became a bivocational pastor — intentionally. He chose to serve smaller ranching community churches. Pat worked with the Good Shepherd’s sheep and his rancher members’ cattle. He discovered both church sheep and range cows wander or stampede but always need good pastures. Pat found a different “balance” in ministry. He deliberately pursued two callings simultaneously. But his peers wondered why he chose this unique ministry.

Pastors get to have these complex and wonderful conversations with people from all walks of life. I think the words, “Go ahead, I’ll listen” are tattooed on my forehead with ink that’s invisible when I look in the mirror. Everyone sees it but me. It’s startling what people tell you once they know you’re a pastor.

When you work in a church you never know what a person’s visit might bring, but you always have to be ready for that stranger through whom God has something to say. A few days ago a little man with curious eyes and a gentle smile walked into the gallery and took a look around.

Barbara Dunn Jackson appreciated words and the nuances of their meaning. The walls of her home office were lined with many books on etymology. Barbara wrote a column called “A Last Word” for Synergy, which went to women in ministry. In a 1996 column, she examined a very specific word.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship events provide moderate Baptists with opportunities for networking and partnerships in hopes of accomplishing the same ends I saw at the Democratic National Convention — renewed identity and collective energy to carry out our missional ministries in a world which desperately needs them.
