Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty of Tulsa, OK greeted a man during the invitation Sunday and was belted in the face by an obviously disturbed man. Pastor Daugherty was dazed but kept preaching and fogiving! WAY TO GO PASTOR DAUGHERTY!! With so many pastors and Christian leaders embarrassing the “church” it is refreshing to see a man of God!

I hope I could act as graceful as Pastor Daugherty. Pastors are human and we hurt and bleed like everyone else. Just look at the picture. Words and gossip hurt worse than getting punched. When we act like Christ, we may be vilified but in the end Christ is honored. Grace wins! Love wins! Prudence wins! God wins!

This morning a couple who is not even in my ministry area came by to take a photo of me. They are an older couple who just came to thank me for my ministry and attitude. Now I have ranted on my blog but I have not said one word in the church about our situation. I visited the man’s father in the hospital on several occasions and he passed away. They were grateful to me for visiting their father. It was my honor.

I have learned the hard way doing things Christ’s way wins in the end. I have not always done it His way. Even recently, I strayed in my attitude. Thanks to my friends for reminding me. Jason your the best! Your email was prophetic! Christ-like attitudes win in the end!

I like your blog. It looks cool. Where are you in DFW? Went to seminary there and enjoyed our stay.
