Even Puppies Need a Pat

Yes!! This is what doing ministry is like--you pray and open yourself and find yourself doing and saying things that didn't first pass through your brain. Lean on that!! If you are open it will happen, over and over and over. If you don't know what to do or say or you feel overwhelmed, just empty yourself of yourself, leave agendas at the door, open your heart to the Spirit and miracles WILL happen. I promise--I've experienced it.
In fact, you will begin to count on it!

This just fascinates me. I figure, if God can speak thru an ASS or use a TAX COLLECTOR, He can certainly use ME sometimes, eh?

LOL! No doubt!! Just look at the apostles--hardly a stellar group. Surely they were a source of discouragement to Jesus, and they abandoned him in his hour of greatest need. And often they just didn't GET it. (I'm biased, but seems to me the women of the group had a better understanding!) But with great help, they managed, and here we are 2000 years later. It isn't about the quality of the vessel, but rather its willingness.
