My daughter, Stephanie, gave me a nifty little book for my birthday one year. It was titled, "You Might Be a Preacher If..." Some of the insights were pretty funny. To these I've added a few of my own.
You might be a preacher if...
People at the wedding reception can't wait for you to leave.
Your office is "prayer conditioned."
You would rather walk on a bed of hot coals than pray "Bible Trivia Pursuit."
You've thought of serving Starbucks coffee during the coffee hour.
You've been asked what it's like to work just one day a week.
You know what a Narthex is.
You've answered a phone call at 2 am and your congregational member said, "I hope I'm not bothering you, Pastor."
You've been asked to offer a prayer for one of your members...when there are two minutes before the service.
When a person takes the communion wine and says, "That's mighty good!"
During the hymns you take a quick attendance count.
You argue with the ushers over the attendance count.
You've got a fabulous sermon on humility.
