Reformation

It's a constant process. One that will never be fully completed until the day of Glorification before my Maker. Thoughts that purge through all sorts of uncertainty, or doubt, really snap my eyes back to the road - or the tasks at hand. I really have this insatiable taste to preach the word, and that's kinda what I talked to Bill about tonight. We had a brief conversation, and he asked how things were. I told him that I feel as though I'm reaching the summit in some respects. I told him I want to be a Pastor some day, in whichever discipline God leads to facilitate, if he does at all. I told him I'm writing a lot of songs with heavy truths as lyrical content. I try to push his buttons as much as I can, whenever I talk to him, but he always seems to get me talking...I would like to just listen to what he has to say about a lot of things.

I want to find a good auto-bio on some renowned Pastor or Theologian, and learn about his in-between stage of life of what it was like in the times before they were raised up to the position of Authoritative Preaching. I would like to understand their thoughts, how they felt, the battles and trials they struggled through, what they studied, how much weight they gained, how much coffee or whisky they had, how much they wrote, how little they slept, how anti or proactively social they were, where God had brought them from, where God was leading them...I suppose this list of questions could go on for a while, but I want very much to glean into someone's life, for sake of finding a soul of whom I can learn from.
Or just to be a fly on the wall of Bill's office, or Josh's, or Steele's, or MacArthur's, or Sproul.
Maybe I'll read into Spurgeon? Maybe Edwards? Maybe Calvin? Maybe Paul? Maybe St. Tomas Aquinas? Maybe Augustine? For sure study again into Christ's own ministry.

I'm no Clark Kent, but I sure do want to be ready for battle with a full arsenal at the next available phone booth.
