Best of Pastor’s Ponderings: 40 Reflections for Your Spiritual Journey by Steve Wilmot

“You have a future regardless of your past.”

“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”

“Every person God ever used had a past he or she was ashamed of, but that didn’t matter to God. It didn’t tie his hands. Just because you have a dark past doesn’t mean God will toss you into the garbage heap as worthless. Far from it. Every saint has a past that Jesus Christ changed.”

“But it’s equally true that every sinner has a future. Look at Apostle Paul, for example.”

We all need reminders along the way and the lines above are a sample of those you’ll find in this book. It’s tough to trek the path of your spiritual journey. If you try to do it alone, it’s near-impossible.

This book will be a valuable companion through the difficulties and trials, victories and defeats, gains and losses pilgrims encounter on their pilgrimage toward Home. It will encourage you and inspire you to finish your spiritual journey strong.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The spiritual journey Christ-followers trek is scattered with difficulties, disappointments, and set-backs. It's hard enough to try to do it on your own. I've learned that from my own experiences. The wolf loves the lone sheep; our enemy loves it when we're in isolation from other travelers.

I wrote this book — a collection of newspaper columns written over the last 20 years — to offer encouragement and inspiration to press on regardless of the mountains and valleys we pass through. Each chapter is written to cheer the reader on to say at the end of his life, "I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have been faithful."

Book Sample
Did you ever wish for a real Time Machine when you were growing up? I did. How cool would it be to go back in time and listen to Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address or watch our forefathers sign the Declaration of Independence or see Babe Ruth hit a home run?
If you’re like me, I’ll bet you had another motive for a Time Machine. If it could take us back in time, we would change some things we did or said we wish we hadn’t. Or do and say some things we wish we had.
Imagine if there was a Time Machine that could whisk Bible characters back in time to correct some of their foolish decisions.
Knowing then what she knows now, Eve would never get within a thousand miles of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil where Satan handed her that apple.
Moses would speak to the rock like he was told rather than strike it with his staff in anger. Then he could have entered the Promised Land. I’m sure he wished for a do-over…
If you had a Time Machine, what decision would you trade for a different choice? What event in your life would you revisit if you could change it?
Everyone dreams of getting a second chance, a do-over, an opportunity to correct a terrible choice.
But the reality is the past is the past and you can’t change the past…
While it’s true you can’t change the past, there is a higher reality that trumps it. You cannot change your past, BUT Jesus Christ can change your future.

A haven from summer heat and sadness.

You see them perched along the US highways and freeways; they arise in clusters where roads intersect, nestled among convenience stores and gas stations. Convenient, soulless, and relatively inexpensive, motels provide a place to rest, a convenient place to for respite from a journey. They also house meetings, celebrations, and assignations.

At night, tucked inside their homogeneous rooms, you can sometimes hear life’s dramas play out through their economical walls. Secrets are shouted and doors slammed.

The faceless and anonymous nature of chain motels, their very convenience, makes them an almost perfect setting for tragic endings. This is the story of such endings that overlap, at least in time and space.

There is a desperation in such stories that imbues them with power and strength, lets them gain momentum and causes misunderstandings to become inevitable endings.

About the Author
Ed Teja is a lifelong writer and denizen of the margins of the world. A former magazine editor and boat bum, his stories (mostly mysteries and thrillers) are about the people and places he knows — the odd corners of the world that often disappear into the margins, and the amazing, often strange, people that inhabit those places.
