This week, as a pastor, I…

• Considered what teenage boys need to know about God,
• Taught about how to pray for San Bernadino,
• Completed my last task (a thank you letter) for a now defunct congregation,
• Met a homeless mom with 5 kids, a minivan and a surprisingly easy smile,
• Wondered how to teach generosity in the year to come,
• Encountered a man who had slept out in the pouring rain,
• Learned how to add audio to ProPresenter5,
• Moved two project meetings to January, reluctantly,
• Completed 1 of 4 items to make the congregation more receptive of visitors.

There were a lot of distractions this week. But it seems to have been productive, nevertheless.
