3. Husband’s Ministry Title. Pastor
4. Length of time in Current Ministry Location. {IMPORTANT: There are several of you who may not be in a current ‘official’ pastorate/ministry, etc. That makes you no less a minister’s wife! You play along, girlfriends, and let us pray for you!} 13 years

7. Cook Sunday lunch or eat out? Eat out or carry out
8. Typically on time for Sunday School or not? Yes, usually, which is a good thing since I'm one of the teachers. (Today doesn't count. I was late because I was reading everyone's post for the scavenger hunt! lol)
9. Favorite TV Show. Extreme Home Makeover
10. Something you watch/like/do that you would never tell the church people. (Except now you just did…lol) I really can't think of anything except maybe that I watch Survivor.
11. Most annoying church-related pet peeve. Folks who think criticism is a spiritual gift.

13. The one food you can not live without. chocolate
14. Parsonage or have your own home? own home
15. Freak when the doorbell rings or always ready for a visitor? Definitely freak! Wish I didn't, but I do.
That was fun. That is a big pet peeve of mine in the church too. You will never be able to please everyone, but why do they have to be so critical?
ReplyDeletethis was good. my pet peeve is that our people show up late to church. It is a cultural thing but it drives me crazy..we start the service, literally with 10-15 people in the sanctuary. But within 15 minutes the place is full. I just don't get it.
ReplyDeletethe show I watch that I would tell the congregation is "Americas next top model" I watch b/c my daughter watches and we call and talk about it and b/c it is so ridiculous!!
Oh, I love #11! That is soo true...although, I know sometimes I can be critical myself. God is working on me with that!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers! I agree with #11 too, soooo frustrating.
ReplyDeleteTake Care!
My daughter and I watch Extreme Home Makeover and I don't know too many episodes we don't cry through the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and thanks for the comment on my blog!
fun! and funny!
ReplyDeleteCathy: Thank you for stopping by my blog! It was a sweet deacon's wife who helped me with the "drop-in" company issue. She told me that she loved me and was not there to see my house - she needed to see ME! It really hit home with me. And another time when I had been shopping with another pastor's wife I had this lesson hit home again. We had been shopping all afternoon, and when I dropped her off at her house I asked her if I could use the restroom before driving myself on home, and she told me no! She said her house was not clean enough for me to come in... I told her it did NOT matter, but she would not let me in and I NEEDED to come in... Anyway, that hit home with me and I decided to relax over the whole issue - plus I really do try to keep the kitchen and living room "picked up, " and this motivates me. I don't have little ones at home any more, so it is much easier.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you,
Jan
Yes they will fit... yes they will fit... you keep hanging on to them. LOL
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too!
This was a lot of fun :) Very nice meeting you too.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! I'll have to try and throw something together and join in!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a meme! That was neat.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you freak when the doorbell rings, cuz I know I sure do. My house is never 'company ready'. I always need 20 minutes, and then it can look fabulous. Just don't dare open that utility room door.... ha ha ha
lolahaha...you were late because you were reading scavenger posts??!! i feel so guilty!! in a hysterical kind of way of course..:))
ReplyDeleteFun reading, nice to 'meet' you.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy! Anytime I watch Extreme Home Makeover, I boo-hoo like a baby! It gets me every time!!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love Extreme Home Makeover...can I enter it for myself?
