This morning I had a morning meeting and devotions with our 133 men plus some employees at 7:00am.
From there it was on to the dock at the warehouse...time to make the men work!
After that I went to sit in the air condition in our dispatch/phone room to take a short break when a man asked me a deep theological question about baptism. This led into a discussion with many questions directed at me. Good thing Captain Kim said in training, "We are all theologians."
Then back out to the dock...to disciplining a few men...to listening to a man who is struggling with his recovery...to reviewing our program for Sunday's service...to tracking down a few men who missed class last night...etc, etc.
All day I went back and forth from the "practical" ministry to the more "priestly" or "ministerial" tasks of my responsibilities.
This is my calling. I love it. Social gospel. Kingdom-honoring. Making a difference one man at a time--in the trenches.
A good, hard day.
