COOL MINISTRY
This is the coolest thing. Many of you know that, over the past couple of years (okay, I confess, God has tugged at me for a lot longer than that), I have flirted with the idea of professional ministry. For now and the foreseeable future, though, I am confident that I am where God wants me and that He has lots for me to learn before ever even possibly calling me to a full time professional ministry.

So, what's cool about that?

What's cool is this -- Lisa (my wife and girlfriend), even though she won't readily recognize the fact, has accepted a call to full time professional ministry. Not sure she ever anticipated this but it is wonderful. God is good.

As I said, she does not maybe recognize her new job as a ministry but I can't see it as anything else. She is working for "ministry wages" for an organization devoted to advancing God's Kingdom. if that is not full-time professional ministry, then I don't know what is.

And you know what has been even cooler? Watching her walk this path. She left a job working part-time in a highly skilled professional field that she knew very well to take this position in a field that is more or less new to her (though accounting really should be in her blood, with three accountants in her immediate family). She has walked this path without looking back (at least not seriously). She knows she is where she is supposed to be for now and we're both so thankful she has the opportunity to be there.

So, I guess that is one of many things for which I am thankful this Thanksgiving.
