At least that seemed to characterize the earlier years of my preaching. I think I finally got it right in Long Beach, but only toward the end of my time in the pulpit.

I sympathize as I am struggling, too, only in a different direction. (Not that I've totally surrendered, either!) But the highway that leads through our house right now, the highway of service, is difficult. I am trying to DO the right thing, but I alluded to this in one of my blogs, that my area of ministry right now is for someone I have never cared that much for. Isn't that awful to say? Besides the daily interaction with that person, we also are having her kids come out of the woodwork, and.........well, it's too long a story to share here. One of my favorite sayings is "Feel what you feel but do what God wants you to do." I'm crossing my fingers on this one. I keep seeing 1 Corinthians 13........".....if I give my body to be burned and have not love, it doesn't profit me anything." Of course, I've always felt that at least I'm doing good for that person, whether it's winning ME any brownie points or not. And I DO love her.........but loving and liking isn't the same thing, is it? You see, I'm in a painful struggle, too. :) Janice, I have always respected your total honesty about where you are at any given time.
