After last week, I think this also goes for pastor's wives as well. I know last week I wanted to throw in the towel and not become close to anyone else. Reading this helps me to understand that I need to hang in there...and RUB OFF!! I know this is a pastors site…but good job honey. After last week, I think this also goes for pastor’s wives as well.

IIt makes me want to back off as well. Its important for us to remember that even when we get burned we have to guard ourselves from taking it personal. If we take it personal and withdraw we cheat a lot of people who don't want to burn us. Great post Lance! I can relate to what you are saying about getting burned Rick.

Seriously, I think you're dead on in your commentary here. I tell our people all the time I will not allow us to grow so big that I cannot live out my life in the midst of the congregation. I love Calvin Miller's writings on this. It's so easy to withdraw as commitments increase but the very essence of our ministry comes from spending time with our church families...

You know what's crazy? It seems like the longer I'm in ministry, I seem to have a greater tendency to be a bit more withdrawn from people. You get burned, people put unrealistic expectations on you, things like that. Anyone else have this tendency? You're right though Lance, we do need to "rub off" on people more than what we do.
