And I have to tell you - I would not have said I was "passionate" about my husband until the day came that I very nearly lost him to death. Since then, I have found out just exactly how passionate I do feel about him.

Sorry, but you misread some things... and if I gave any wrong impression, I apologize.
I have pastored, meaning Associate, Music Pastor, Staff Pastor and Executive Pastor, but have never been a Senior Pastor. I"m not qualified to pastor as I'm a single man and don't meet the Scriptural requirements. I do not currently pastor in any capacity and haven't for some time, so not sure where you got that.
I am a minister, and yes I work a full time secular job as well as ministerial duties. In most of my ministerial duties, I have been bi-vocational.
I do not have a son, never married, and no children. Have lived alone for 17 years.
I never said that I wasn't passionate in how I approach some things in my life... I would say that I am.
The question of the thread wasn't, is there anything you do passionately... It's What IS YOUR PASSION.
You can do things passionately, but not have any passions in your life. And that's me. There are things I will do with all my soul, mind and strength... as unto the Lord, but they certainly are not Passions in my life.
