“What will you leave behind? Will there be people left doing what you trained them to do, will there be a church, will there be ‘a body of work’ for future generations?” This is a quote from my pastor, Austin Gardner, that rings through my mind often when I ask myself the question, “What should I be working on?”
I introduced the pastor to blogging nearly four years ago. Like most things. if he decides to to do it, he does it well and is extremely faithful to it. Over two years ago he decided to place his devotions on a private blog. He had been doing this for many, many years through email. However, know does t on the blog and he has written nearly 900 days consecutively!
He is leaving a body of work for us all. I find this very impressive and helpful. I want to follow this example. I am working at mentoring some young men, involved in church planting, and now I want to work even hard at leaving behind a “body of work”.
