I had a parishoner come by and offer to take me to Timmies. Now I had done a challenging sermon where I gave everyone a piece of paper with decisions that come out of a tough parable with the offer to meet with me at Timmies to chat about faith and questions and what not.
Not being experienced in drawing people out I floundered a bit but determined that other than one specific discussion there really wasn't anything that created this visit - until she mentioned that she had been to the elders and they suggested she visit me. I don't get the impression it was for her benefit but for mine!! There seems to be a concern that I'm alone and because of a medical issue the head elder and his wife have been busy and also it is haying season. I've never thought of a pastor as particularly requiring care so its nice but so unneeded. Especially when I had put all of my clothes on the line so had to to go Timmies in my track pants and a light sweater - its all I had left that wasn't wet!
