Thanks for that too. It's good to consider the pastors and their difficulties.

Also, I'm thinking more and more that this problem with the pastors may actually be a lesson for me. I shouldn't be worrying about whether the pastor likes me. Quite a few members of the congregation have shown me a lot of welcome and support on a continuing basis.

Pastors tend to come and go, but some of the members of the congregation will some day attend my funeral, after we've known and cared for each other over many years.

And of course, there's the One to rely on for the best answers and the best support and love, Who is the overwhelmingly most important reason I go to church... I should be thinking of Him first, not spending time fretting over "pastor problems."
