What kinds of people and pastors make up churches

I'm learning that people walk into a church building for a myriad of reasons. Here are a few (many of them are unspoken but the motive are clear after a few conversations and encounters)

Some enter the building because they are looking for a place to take charge.
Some are looking to recapture their childhood.
Some are in deep pain.
Some are struggling with guilt
Some are fearing death.
Some are looking for relationship.
Some are just tired of life
Some are trying to make peace with their past.
Some are seeking healing
some are looking for a place to abuse.
Some are looking for escape
Some are seeking intellectual stimulation.

OK there's a list of about 5% of the reasons I know that some people go to the church.

I think these are reasons why many pastors do what they do.  I've thought many times about my own motives of why I became a pastor. It is a never ending job. It can be "a pride swallowing siege that you never fully tell anyone about" (Jerry McGuire). It's rewarding and punishing. It's a call to lead in areas I'm still trying to foster in my own life. It's a call to heal in areas I need healing. It's a dangerous place to be honest but if you are honest, then you are a hypocrite. It's a complex position and a difficult place to be. I love it because it's where I've been planted. I get a chance to mourn the losses and rejoice in the victories of people. I get an inside view of the struggles people face. Schedules are difficult to keep. I accept invitations and schedule appointments with some hestitation because life can sweep me away from the sickbed of Lazarus.

Every morning I wake up with the question: "What's next Papa?"

It's a sticky note, skinned knee, faith stretching, prayer dependant adventure.
