A pastor can teach, but a teacher can't pastor!

At summer session today, We learned a lot of great things. It really got me thinking about everything I think about. I got a lot of great information about things like everyday life(living like we are supposed to live), the bible(specifically Paul and Timothy and the leaders they are), and serving without complainig. From Chapel, to interning, one thing that really stood out to me is something Tyler said. He taught our developing skill class, and he talked about how pastors are like shepherds. I know that's kind of confusing but it really made sense to me.
Tyler brought up the point that like a shepherd protects it's sheep from bears and lions, pastors are supposed to protect their people"sheep" from everything that comes against us like the world, people around us, and the devil. Then he talked about teachers. How Teachers are still very important, but the main difference between a teacher and a pastor is The responsibility of keeping your "sheep" protected. All of this helps me know one thing, my pastors have my back! Whenever I'm in trouble, I know I can count on them to help me! I know I can trust Tyler and Crystal, and all of the leaders at pathfinders. And when I get to refuge, I know it won't change just because my environment did. I know this might not mean much to you, but it did mean a lot to me. I hope someone out there reads this and feels the same way I do!
I luvs!
