We are all called to be ministers. Some are called to full time ministry or being clergy. Everyone else could be called Part Time...although you can many times spend more time doing that than your regular job.

Let Me Help You Help Me part 4
I think this may be the last post. Not that there isn't more to say, but I think I will just start repeating myself. Although I like to hear myself speak, this is all in my head and I don't say it out loud.
In the past, Brandy and I have always been a support system for people in certain situations. I think the pastor in me spilled over to her (or vice versa) and we were always the counselors. I think God may be using Brandy's death like that again.
For sure it has put a new light on marriage and relationships for some of our friends. But in another way, I think people coming up to talk to Julia and I get some therapy.
One lady that we know through family more or less cornered Julia this weekend expressing her condolences and saying she knows what it's like because she lost 2 husbands and mom, etc, etc. It was interesting because at church that morning she had just given us both a hug, said sorry for your loss, and that was it. I leaned over to Julia and told her "that's how you do it." Then that evening she became everyone else.
I had a woman at work this was the 1st time meeting her. We talked for 5 minutes and she "just had to give me a hug." I didn't need a hug, not that I will object to a pretty woman giving me a hug. I think she needed a hug.
And that's where I am on this. Maybe Julia and I doing good is therapy for these other people. If it is, great. I love to be able to get people back on the right track. Who knows. I don't reject people coming up and talking to me. I love talking about Brandy. If you have a story about her, let's talk.
