AN EXCELLENT CHOICE OF COLOR

Rich, our Painting Pastor (If we can have “Music Pastors”, shouldn’t we be able to have “Painting Pastors”, too?), specializes in ministering to the painting needs of middle-class, middle-aged parents of missionaries. He recently suggested some color options for our front door.

Debra and I had already chosen to paint the house a basic tan with chocolate-brown trim. Initially, we were going to paint the front door the same color as the trim. But Rich had another idea. Debra and I meditated upon his idea for a brief season of meditating and we ultimately decided, as a result of our meditation, that he might be onto something.

So we walked into the paint store, checked out the color cards, and selected the reddish-orange color that Rich had suggested. We returned home from the paint store and I slapped a couple of coats on the front door. The final result validated the wisdom behind the suggested color.


No wonder Rich is a Painting Pastor! He has the gift.
