At one point you write quoting the mentioned book:(Success) "It is primarily qualitative not merely quantitative. Its emphasis is more on things like faithfulness, humility, love and relationships than on measurable, objective accomplishments and achievements in the ministry." I find that that is exactly the problem in pastoral ministry. It is the hard part to stay faithful, to (still) love, stay vulnerable and be open minded with a sense of humor in relationships over the years. Tobias from Germany Hi Steve,
