I have discovered that seeking pastoral employment at age
67 is much more difficult than seeking employment when I was 32. But one truth
remains, God is faithful. I am trusting God for my future, my calling, my
provisions of life. I retired from pastoral ministry three years ago, but
questions that decision often.
I heard recently that a church was seeking a new
pastor. As the resumes were being reviewed and it was growing time to
begin the interviews. A resume was presented of a seasoned pastor with multiple
ministries that reflect a mighty work of God. This seasoned pastor had recently
celebrated his 52nd birthday. A church board member said to the board,
"Why should we consider this resume? Do we want a man who's tank is almost
empty instead of seeking a young, vibrant man?"
