I've been in a reflective mood this weekend. Perhaps it's the fact that this project is almost done, perhaps it's the fact that I know that this work God started will continue in my heart for a long time.

As you get ready to start your week, to go to work and get about your business, take the time to think on some of these things. Think about what minstry is. Pray about it. And then...do it.
