I did not mean that I have not made friends. I have built relationships with many people that would qualify as friends..... Judy and Joe, Terri and Jim, Adam, Joanne, Ginger, Greg, Nancy, Bernie, Peggy, Kathy, Arlene and many others.
Here is the problem.... when you are a pastor and people know you as a pastor, it limits what a friendship can become until people get past the idea that you are a pastor. Being a pastor just makes things weird sometimes.
So let's move past the pastor thing. Let's sit down sometime on the porch and drink a few beers and tell our worst stories about life and our best jokes. A pastor, most pastors, well at least this pastor, just wants to be known and accepted as a regular human.
I thank you Florida friends for all of our relationships and I know that they will only get better.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
