The Sureness of Heaven, A Short Story by Kirk Perrow
from the Heart...
At the annual congregational meeting, I gave a very short ministerial report. In order to provide a quantitative context to my activities I reported that I had used over 300 first-class stamps on notes and cards to members, friends, newcomers, and guests over this past year. And I said that I had visited in homes over 30 times during this past year, and have also met members and newcomers in restaurants, coffee shops, and other public places. I want you to know that I always have time for you, the members and friends of this church.
There is more that I would like to share with you about some of the other ways that I spend my time, because it reflects on the broader aspects of my being your minister, your pastor, and your servant in Christ.
Prayer and meditation are a regular part of my day. Sometimes I use music and images from YouTube to focus my meditation. Sometimes music from CD’s provides the setting for prayers. Often, the I-95 and I-395 “parking lots” give me an opportunity to “pray without ceasing!” Rarely do I go to sleep without lifting up this congregation and the names of the many friends of this church to God’s affirming love. I have a prayer list that I attend to each night. Never do I go to sleep without thanking God for the honor and blessing of being your minister.
