A Pastoral Visit

Have I caught you at a bad time?

Elders from our church used to join the Pastor in calling on people who had visited our church that same morning. I always thought it a little awkward showing up unannounced but handled properly, it could be a nice, if somewhat "salesy" gesture.

I went on several of these visits and I always expected the worst. Like we'd interrupt someone mid-murder or exercising to their favorite pole-dancing-for-bears DVD. Luckily, it turns out that people are just as boring at home as I am. 9 times out of 10 they'd be watching golf or reruns of The Brady Bunch. If you've had a crazy door-knocking experience, I'd love to hear about it!

Church camp can be demanding.

My client agrees to speak at your retreat but he wants his own tent and 10 percent of all leftover cookies.

To all my camper and leader friends out there: Have a fun and safe Summer!
