Are you like this guy, wondering if preaching is your gift?
Called to Preach
(Leadership Journal)
Then go for it, but don’t be surprised:
Tough Sundays
(Leadership Journal)
And no matter what, remember this wise advice:
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1.)
Kind of makes me look at preaching and teaching (and the preachers and teachers who serve God and his people) in a while different light.

This made me laugh. Thanks!
It also reminded me of a story about Agatha Christie. She finished reading a mystery novel, thought “I can write a book better than that!”, and started writing her first murder mystery because she couldn’t find any new books that she enjoyed and hadn’t already read.
I had the same thoughts about applying for the bench back when I was an attorney appearing in some courtrooms. Most judges were outstanding, but a few were quite not!
Many bloom or wither where they are. It is the calling that carries as the water and sun weaken.
Blessings!
It’s the Spirit that carries, right?
I especially like the first one. I’ve actually seen that!
Me too, in one shade or another!
Haha! This is hilarious!
Glad you liked it, Preacher April!
