I, too, am a pastor's wife and we are also at a small church. I've been at this a bit longer than you, and you seem to have a pretty good handle on this whole living in a fishbowl thing! I especially liked the ides of refraining from referring to people as "wallowing in their own stupidity" although I personally like "ignorance on fire". I'll be checking you out more often, and please feel free to stop by my new blog (had to make my old one,"sleeping with the pastor", private b/c church members were offended (and this is where I refrain!) www.welcometopattyville.blogspot.compattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587740308179141606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-43897971473099644592009-04-26T00:32:00.000-05:002009-04-26T00:32:00.000-05:00Thanks for this post.

It was refreshing and I cannot hear some of those points enough. <br /><br />I have also been reminded lately that Jesus understands the silent years of ministry. His, i guess you could say, "public ministry" did not start until he was in his thirties. <br /><br />Everything is in God's timing. :)Stephaniehttp://dirtwonthurt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-37131521938406071282009-04-23T19:39:00.000-05:002009-04-23T19:39:00.000-05:00This was a very good post for me to read today.

God has called me to do something I just DO NOT WANT TO DO. <br /><br />He has asked me to be the mother of a son who has decided to follow a homosexual lifestyle. Not only follow - but be a political advocate. A very public political advocate. <br /><br />It's not ministry in the typical sense - but it's ministry nonetheless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-91448573896730750472009-04-23T09:16:00.000-05:002009-04-23T09:16:00.000-05:00We are twins!

I really needed to be reminded that it's not supposed to be easy. I keep waiting for life to slow down enough for me to catch up and get ahead. I guess I need to enjoy the relief of knowing it's supposed to be this way. : )Hunsbergershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440168594135355679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-38847966422180514542009-04-22T20:51:00.000-05:002009-04-22T20:51:00.000-05:00That is some good dang stuff.That is some good dang stuff.Hethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433007574709493188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-42398868366782962052009-04-22T20:36:00.000-05:002009-04-22T20:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for these reminders.

A lot." When I was driving home from work yesterday, I noticed how depressed and tired everyone looked in their vehicles...so I decided to smile. Force it if necessary. Smile for absolutely no reason other than to smile. And then I got so tickled with the idea that I looked probably like an idiot that I actually made myself laugh (I am easily amused), and I wondered what those other drivers must have been thinking when they saw this crazy girl driving her car home and laughing to herself. Maybe I made them laugh, too! =DPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791257181990955117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-54670814797665620712009-04-22T12:14:00.000-05:002009-04-22T12:14:00.000-05:00good words

It seems almost weekly we make sure we have at last two to 3 nights a week to be home - and then something in the name of "ministry" or "emergency" or "meeting" springs up and then suddenly we are not home even one evening all week.... I think when my kids come I will feel better about saying "NO"!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661641983151967750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-25719336814205746842009-04-22T11:08:00.000-05:002009-04-22T11:08:00.000-05:00good stuff, girl!
