Um pastors don't just sit around all day and speak on Sundays. They spend the entire week researching and preparing and rehearsing a sermon--think of writing a term paper every week plus speaking it outloud. In addition to that, during the week they meet with church members, alot of them that are suffering from some very overwhelming problems like broken marriages, financial issues, sickness, etc. And as pastor you have to encourage and counsel all these people what they should do---very heavy responsibility. Pastors also will do things such as go visit members that are in the hospital and requesting prayer...you'll also perform wedding/funeral services. Also, you will be working with a church staff and there will be prayer time and meetings spent trying to figure out directions to go with the church, listening to what God's plans are and numerous other not so glamourous things. Pastoring is an exhaustive, detailed, emotionally wrenching, but rewarding job. It is anything but easy though.
