It's A Wonderful Life

It's pretty amazing, when you think about it: an organization pays me to go around and serve God by helping people, training people to be more than they are and just generally make the world a better place. And I'm not bad at it apparently. Ministry like what I do is like being a professional superhero. What a statement of value the church makes by doing that, too, by paying for relational, active ministry. It is like the church says "yes, world, this is what we value, and this is what we want the world to be."
