You seem like a couple of pretty cool guys. I’m glad to see you’ve taken an interest in the conversation at RefCath. Any aspirations to the ministry for either of you?
I do, personally, although its something I still pray about and struggle with.
I will be going the Northern Ireland (Lord willing) for the whole year, 2008 to serve at a local church in Belfast (note the link to “all saints” in the blogroll). I’m hoping that it’ll be a great time to work it all out.
Sam,
Struggling is good, especially at a young age. I personally struggled for around 5 years over whether to enter the academy or the pastorate. This summer my calling to the pastorate, I believe, was finally confirmed. But I have nonetheless benefitted greatly from the experience and knowledge gained through my preparation for a career in academic work.
I hope and pray your time in Ireland proves an abundant blessing to you and provides some clarity.
Peace,
JB
Thank you very much.
Hi Sam,

In Christ Jesus,
