I think it's because as ministers we're somehow more in touch with God's desires and the reailty that we have a part to play in bringing the Kin_dom to earth. But we forget that we aren't able to do it ourselves - that there's so much more than we can fathom and only God really understands the big picture. That's why we have coveant groups and seminary friends and other gifts in ou lives that remind us of our humanity and help us to enjoy the ride now and then. :)mandychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447605145639120765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-997574135305849632007-11-06T19:07:00.000-06:002007-11-06T19:07:00.000-06:00Yes, I have these things I can't articulate all th...Yes, I have these things I can't articulate all the times.

For if you continue to think that all of these things are up to you to set right, you will surely collapse and be of no use to yourself or anyone else.
