Try to Sing a New Song and you will hear
about it – Ouch!
I sang a New Song on Sunday…
in the message that I preached. I
thought I did a good job and according to many that spoke to me afterwards – I did.
My message that was printed
in this Blog tried to encourage people that no matter what they faced God would
help them.
Ouch!
I mentioned a friend of mine
that is a Community Chaplain as an illustration of a New Song. Ouch!
A woman in the audience was very angry at the Chaplain for something she
perceived him having done, and she let me know after the service was over.
Ouch! Ouch!
I blew it on Sunday morning
also when I mentioned that Rob Ford’s troubles in Toronto were an example of a
song that wasn’t so good… that he might need help and that I felt deeply for
the man – Mr. Ford.
One man listened to every
word he wanted to hear – not every word that I spoke, then he blasted me when
we shook hands at the door – announcing with a very strong opinion that, “Rob
Ford has never been charged with a Crime!” The moment he stated his opinion he
pushed by me and left me standing there with my mouth open… Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
He slapped his calling card
in my hand and stormed out of the building. Oh Boy!
I was the guest minister for
a poor pastor that was vacationing. I
think I have caused a small war for the poor minister to deal with when he gets
back.
Pause… take a deep breath…
Wait a minute I didn’t say anything wrong. Hold on here… I have been in this spot before
when I was a full time Pastor as well.
Some “dear folk” kind of felt that their ‘God Given job’ was to let the minister
have it whenever they got the chance…. And they did – regularly. But in my case I always knew who and guessed
at the possible when. The “Ouch!” was
smaller but always wearing away at my sanity.
Take a deep breath… I don’t have to deal with this
stuff anymore. One or two “Ouches” on an occasional Sunday are okay… I can take
a bath when I get home.
A funny thought… I am not the spouse of - or a relative
of either of these ‘dear christians’ – I was only there once and happy to not
have to listen to this all the time.
Rob Ford however did invade my thinking a lot
yesterday as Toronto City Counselors dealt with the issues they had to deal
with. Ouch! – for them.
