I had a weird realization the other day. I was thinking about what I’d like to do if I wasn’t a pastor. (Don’t get me wrong! I love pastoring and I’ll probably do that the rest of my life!) I was just thinking about the professions that have intrigued me in the past and I realized that I’ve always been interested in photographers, video editors, designers, and optometrists. I’d never put it together before but all those professions have to do with images and light. I guess I love light and the presentation of things.
Then, upon further reflection, I also realized that that’s what I do as a pastor too. I help focus people on the Lord so that His light is displayed in their lives. I present Him and His light the best way I know how.
Just some random thoughts this Fourth of July weekend.
