I did a pastor thing today. It seems like something that should be a big deal. Baptizing someone. Specifically, a little child who had a difficult birth.

A beautiful picture of the working of God upon us.

No. This is about the reality that this pastor faces the truth of how one's personality can often cause struggles with the way one should be as a pastor.
