A former pastor of mine, and the guy who licensed me into the ministry, was fond of the saying, “Kids spell love T-I-M-E.” I can remember one Father’s Day when his grown sons were in attendance in the congregation and he broke down crying, asking for their forgiveness, as he had, for much of their lives, put his ministry over being a father.

That was a humbling experience. One that was brought back to mind a few years ago when I realized that with my job/ministry, I was following the same path he had once walked.
