Sometimes you need somebody to remind you who you are and
what you stand for.
There was a staff meeting the other day. One of the things about which I spoke
concerned two young men in our neighborhood who were not on their best behavior. They haven’t done anything horrendously bad
but we don’t want them on our property any longer. The staff was informed that the young men had
been informed about their inappropriate behavior and that they are no longer
allowed on our grounds unless they have a change of heart. That’s me on my high horse, a bit perturbed,
self righteous, and incredulous that even though we tried to reach out, then tried
to warn, they actively ignore us.
Then the newest person on our staff asked, “Have you prayed
for them yet?”
Ouch.
How dense can a pastor be?

Dear Father,
If you say, "ouch", I say, "ouch x 10 to the tenth power".
A pastor can be as dense as any other of us weak sinners.
If everyone on earth was as dense as you, this world would be a much better place.
