oh em gee, my pastors want to come to my house to conduct what i assume must be a pastoral visit.
*flees*
it's the whole frickin' pastoral calvary.
this is highly uncomfortable for a number of reasons.
first of all i find these visits oddly premeditated and very invasive. T___T inviting pastors into your home for a pastoral visit is like going to the dentist. he knows that you haven't been brushing :(
i bet my lack of devotionals in the past months will be blatantly obvious. i don't even know where my bible's gone in the mess that's my room since when i do devotions these days i use the online daily bread.
secondly i think pastors are adults who try too hard sometimes.
my pastor once gave me a christian girl's magazine on sex. enough said.
i think i just don't like the idea of my currently not-as-wholesome-as-i'd-like-it-to-be life under scrutiny by the pastors. my dad is the textbook skeptic, my mum is christian some days and not the others, depending on when the fancy strikes, and my sister and i are well.. somewhere in the mix. not on any end of the faith spectrum, but i'd probably say i've been waning. none of us want to sit through tea and Godtalk.
'twas slightly amusing though, watching my whole family blanch at the dreaded SMS. mum dodged tonight saying we were busy but was met with a quick reply that "tomorrow night is good too"
*panic ensues*
mum (wailing): what will i coooook?????
sister hopped off the stool and made plans for tomorrow night.
as for me...
ABANDON SHIP!
..anyone wanna do something tmr night?
