I have pastored, meaning Associate, Music Pastor, Staff Pastor and Executive Pastor, but have never been a Senior Pastor.

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.

Bro Robinson, you remind me of Frodo for some reason.
"Before you came along, we Bagginses were very well thought of. Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected."
And yet Mr Frodo proved to be VERY passionate about his beliefs, faith in his friends, and doing the right thing in the end.

My name isn't Robinson... but I suppose you were talking to me. I have no idea what a Frodo is or what your talking about... so I've read your post a dozen times and don't understand it.
I will say though, I framed the discusion from the beginning under a specific definition that was given to me as to what a Passion is. So, I wasn't asking about what things you are passionate about, but what is your Passion. A person can be interpreted as acting passionate about things, but it in all honesty not be their passion once you talk to them and ask.

Yep, I still haven't received clarification either.

Oops, sorry. I knew that and somehow still typed it Robinson instead of Robbins.
About Frodo, I won't go into who he is because there probably isn't a point. It doesn't surprise me though because my dad has a cousin (the same age as him) who as late as 1990, had no idea who John Wayne was. LOL

I guess we all are, according to Bro. Robbins... If we want to joke in a serious discussion, we don't have manners. If we claim to be passionate about the Lord, he still isn't happy with that.... soo.... I guess, according to him, we are all just plain weird...
