If You Love Your Pastor, Send Him Away (+ List of Places)
October is Pastor Appreciation Month and as a semi-retired pastor’s wife, I’d like to share with you one way to show love to your pastor. In 2015, I wrote a blog post, The Best Gift My Husband Ever Received for Pastor Appreciation Month. I’m amazed at how many people are still viewing that post! I want to update you on my husband’s pastoring journey, and how we believe even more now, that sending your pastor away is one of the greatest acts of love you can show.

Not a Speaker But Called to Speak
What do you do when you’re not a speaker but someone has called asking you to speak? Perhaps you’ve been asked to speak to a group of three hundred, or thirty, or just three. If your first thought is to decline because you’re scheduled to scrub toilets that day, then this post is for you. I’m writing this post as a reminder to myself as well.
