10 funny things about being a pastor...
1. It rhymes with the word, “Pester”.
2. I go through cars like toilet paper.
3. A lot of people treat me as if I’ve been granted immunity from sin.
4. There is a month dedicated to appreciating me.
5. I do PR work for someone I’ve never seen or heard or touched.
6. Trying to live up to the title, “Man of the Cloth”, whatever that means.
7. Seeing “Reverend” stamped in front of my name on the Bible I got for being ordained.
8. Watching people sleep while I’m preaching…that’s hilarious.
9. How, often, I feel further from God than the people who aren’t pastors.
10. Being asked to pray before meals just because I'm the professional "pray-er".

i'm not a pastor, dude, but i feel this. i live this. i wonder if it's something that everyone called to a position of leadership struggles with...
have you seen Amazing Grace or Luther? i could feel their burden of wanting, not, needing to change the world, even when people just didn't get it, even when their own hearts said they weren't good enough...
and yet they wouldn't stop until they changed everything...
you're in good company, Jason, keeping marching on...
freedom is here...
