And so on....

And so on.....or something. Some phrase or other. Mrs E has a face with a large lump after jaw surgery on Friday and is unwell. Just a simple surgery, ha ha. Take out a broken baby tooth, drill into the jaw bone, put a titanium post in that fuses to the bone, then stitch the gums back together. I can feel her pain. Get well soon sweetie.
A different weekend. I went to a local church be a chaplain, prayer person, for a local men's purity ministry, run by a friend of mine. It was a great time, and an honor to pray with some men at the end who wanted to be free from sexual addiction or to be better husbands. God bless them. I've been struck recently by how much sex there is everywhere, from TV shows to advertising. I hardly watch TV, except for "proper" shows on the public channel. No wonder so many men fall into that kind of sin. That leads me to the famous preacher, Pastor Ted, who was caught out this week allegedly involved in homosexual shenanigans. I must say I'm not surprised. After all I've been through I have acute discernment I think and I could see through that man the first time, and the only time I have watched him on the TV. How tragic that so much responsibility is placed on pastors, or are they "superpastors" or something? I am surely convinced that nothing in Christianity is to be done alone. Even a lone missionary abroad or whatever should have a prayer team at home and be challenged and encouraged as well as prayed for. These "big" pastors are in jeopardy all the time. They can easily think of themselves as "big" or "important" in the Kingdom of God, when we're all treated the same by our Father. Those with more talents (gifts) are held to a high standard. Also, the bigger the ministry, the bigger the target for satan to shoot at. He likes nothing better to see a big name fall and cast doubt on everyone's integrity, when the vast majority of people live quiet, but humble lives. I know many men who don't sleep around, steal money or the like. It's just that they're not in leadership, so only the Almighty notices. They quietly serve their families, friends, church, and of course the Lord. That's fine by Him of course, and that's the point. We are all responsible for each other. When one suffers, all suffer. When one sins, all the body is affected as well. That's why there should be no Lone Rangers in the kingdom. We all need each other as well as Almighty God.
