Title of Work: : Struggles (Short Story, Inspirational)
Author of Work: : Drifter
Date: : July 21

Plot:
A man leaves for seminary school and then thinks about going home many years later.

Scene/Setting:
Drifter talks about leaving home to attend seminary school. He marries, has children and grandchildren. He gets divorced and remarries. He travels through the ministry. He wants to go home to where he grew up, but is worried things have changed too much. He questions his present life.

Characters:
Drifter
Mentioned: His ex-wife, his present wife, his mother and father, his brothers, his children and other relatives.

Suggestions:
First, you do not have to have a church, a building or even a limited number of people for a congregation to be a minister. Stop waiting... Through your writing you can minister to others. Through your everyday talks with people you can minister. I know most people do not like to be "preached at" but through your actions and maybe some casual conversations you can mention all parts of religious faith. Just don't push. One of the things I always like about most of the ministers, I have heard and talked to, was the fact they were there to listen. They didn't judge how or who I lived my life with, they just listened. Even if I didn't feel like praying I was confident in the fact they would send some prayers out. They let me know we are all loved by God, no matter what!!! Maybe I'm not making much sense here. I hope I am.
