interruption
first day back at the grind - in the afternoon i had a couple of meetings and then just as i was getting into some preliminary sermon studying, the receptionist asks if i would see this woman who wants to talk to a pastor. i said sure.
in walks sherry, who says she needs $30 for a bus ticket back to hope. again, i am in the uncomfortable position of playing a social worker. i tell her to come back tonight and talk to the pastor who can help her. then she asks if the church can help her get groceries. i know the church usually has vouchers for safeway somewhere, but no one can find them.
so i go to iga with her and buy her some bologna, buns and tomatos and chocalte milk and a bowl of chili. i know the church will reimburse me.
again 45 minutes lost of sermon prep. and my attitude doesn't seem to be getting any better.
god, help me.
(pray for me).
