Tale of Three Pastors

There once lived three devoted and wonderful pastors, who labored diligently to build and maintain three great churches*. One pastor served The First Church of The Holy Spirit in the city of Aston, Tn. The second pastor labored at The First Holiness Church in Panhandle, Fl. Pastor number three shepherded The First Center of Power Church in Panhandle, Tx. Each of these pastors was well trained and sincere in their pursuit of God and in their desire to faithfully lead their flock. In addition to their sincerity, there were two other things that they shared in common. They were all evangelical, and believed that The Holy Spirit lived inside of the church of God on earth. However, deep inside and behind their holy mask was what some Christians called, 'a latent fear of falling off the deep end'. Each pastor wanted to fly and teach their people how to do the same. But deep inside, they themselves had a fear of flying, not in airplanes, but in flights conducted by The Holy Spirit, because they worried about where The Holy Spirit would take them. This dilemma weighed so heavily upon them that they began to question their own calling. They wondered if they were called to be 'pilots' aided by The Holy Spirit, or commissioned to be 'controllers' observing and directing traffic. 090321PS *Fiction
