Did you know that pastors get PMS?? Every pastor of a small church that I’ve known (and that’s quite a few since my dad is a pastor in a small denomination) gets something I like to call PMS or Pastoral Morning Syndrome. I happens every Sunday morning and it goes a little something like this…..
“Did you bring that vase from home like I told you to?” “No, you simply mentioned that we should bring it so I didn’t remember….” Well what am I supposed to do NOW??” “There’s a vase in the kitchen, dad.” “Where?” “Right in the bottom cabinet.” (opens cabinet) “I don’t see it!” “It’s right there, dad.” “*heavy sigh* This one’s not as pretty as the red one at home.”
Following that there’s the huge discussion of how best to arrange the flowers and whether or to put the water in before or after the flowers. Next there’s the OCD arranging of the chairs and the constant rushing around until everything is just so. Seriously, it’s just like the normal kind of PMS (swift mood changes, obsessions, and annoying everyone around them) only it’s once every week instead of once a month, but luckily it also only lasts for about an hour instead of a week.
