It is interesting to be going somewhere where you do not know what you will be doing.
I have decided to give up pastoring, so I really don’t know what will happen. I would like to get into writing full-time and I am going to try my best to do that, but that is an uncertain business.
I have about three books in my head that I want to write. It shouldn’t be that difficult. The average book is about 60,000 words and in the past year and a half I have written over 400,000 words just in my blog and in my Facebook devotionals. That is not counting other things I have written.
No idea right now where I will go to sell stuff, but I have to make the attempt.
But the idea of no longer pursuing the pastorate is odd. For almost forty years I have been a pastor. I feel, though, that God is through with me in that. I don’t know what he has for me now, maybe nothing, but I will no longer look to doing that.
It’s strange. Almost like a kid looking at the world and saying what shall I be when I grow up? I guess I just took a long time to grow up.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
