Let me know if I should add you.

I’m an engineer, too, so science and faith is something that has long interested me. It’s no surprise ministry can get pretty messy.

I guess you could say that the more uncertainty and the more “right” answers there can be, the messier things can get. Math is pretty clean – usually just one right answer -then science, engineering. By the time you get to business there’s already lots of unknowns and possible right answers. I guess even more so with ministry.

It’s a different thought process, for sure. I think of the example of swimming in ocean waves vs. a still pool. It must be hard to tell how much progress you’re making a lot of times, and if you’ve REALLY solved a problem.

It’s a tough job, but that just means it’s ever so important to have some of our best people on it!

That one really changed the meaning. That's what I get for posting after midnight. Thanks for catching my typo. That one really changed the meaning. That’s what I get for posting after midnight.

Good thoughts and yes we are a messy people.
