I have not yet determined if blogging is something most people do after one too many, if it something that happens when you get too deeply into a swamp, or if it is a way to empty the contents of a brain onto the internet.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7881610517141187835-1597122489107444174?l=eaglesummitministry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eagle Summit Ministryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03406882072538192750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881610517141187835.post-10685783701528578072008-07-20T17:42:00.001-07:002008-07-20T18:07:59.386-07:00<span style="font-family:arial;">Serving in the church can either be a JOB or a MINISTRY. If you quit because of criticism, it was a JOB. If you stay with it even though you remain unrecognized, it is a MINISTRY. If you are doing it just because no one else will, it’s a JOB.

If your motivation is faithfulness, it’s a MINISTRY.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7881610517141187835-1068578370152857807?l=eaglesummitministry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eagle Summit Ministryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03406882072538192750noreply@blogger.com0
