> RJ, congratulations on your graduation and doctorate.  What you said reminded me of the old saying that was quite popular back in the 70's: "Bloom where you're planted." I think that was the title of a popular Christian song of the day.  But its message can be applied for today:  If the Lord plants you in a particular ministry, no matter how ordinary or mundane it may seem to you, know that He has big things in store for you and, according to His good pleasure, can magnify your service to Him for His honor and glory.

>> Dear friends, This is RJ Sandefur, and I have some great news. I've just graduated from Andersonville theological seminary with a doctorate in theology. I am  looking forward to what the Lord has in store for me! At first, I didn't want to get my doctorate, but looking back on it, was the best disision I ever made. Does that mean that I'm going to become a pastor right away? Not really. However, this does not mean you should give up the ministry. Yes, you not be able to be senior pastor, or even a pastor of children, but God does have something for you to do, no matter how small or mundain you think it is. It took me a long time to learn this. Every Sunday, I wake up, and I go out to the prison for youth offenders. That's where God has placed me at this point. Even if it's just holding a bible study on skype as I do every Monday and thirsday, you never know what could happen. In fact, I've even seen some get save due to my having that bible study on skype! I had big dreams intering the seminary, but now that I'm through, while the ministry may not be a bed of roses, I'm not going to baile out on the Lord. RJ
