Got an email today from a pastoral search committee from a First Baptist Church in a South Georgia town.  Sunday School, Wednesday night prayer meeting, AWANA program, VBS, choir, and a “zeal for evangelism.”

I’m totally honored that they contacted me, but I have to wonder what in the worle were they thinking?  It is so easy to find out about me.  I have a pretty well read blog, we podcast our messages, and you can find out a lot about our style in ministry from our website.  I am VERY curious what in world they saw in any of those things that made them think I would be a good fit.

The email said, “we figure it is a long shot, but you never know until you ask.”

Simply odd.

I emailed back and forth a couple of times today and they honestly seemed like great people, BUT do they really even want to consider me?  I don’t think so.

I thanked them, but quickly I declined.

Some things you don’t even have to pray about….
