The One With Day 27

Current Mood: Uber Sleepy
Currently Watching: Will & Grace

Today was a good day. In continuing with God's trend of improving my interpersonal relationships this month, the most notable thing happened tonight during the choir's social after the service. There was nothing at all remarkable about the social (althought everyone seemed to be having a good time), but I realize something about the youth pastor at the church. I know that some of you know the youth pastor, so please keep this post under your took. When I was in high school, this pastor and I never really got along. He spent his time playing football and wrestling and I was singing my heart out in musicals. A while ago, he mentioned in Sunday school that he had the spiritual gift of discernment. That stuck with me, because I have that gift as well. Anyway, tonight the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Allow me to elaborate.

To begin with, I was often hurt by how well this pastor got along with everyone else in the youth group, because I never had that with him. I always kinda thought that it was simply because we have absolutely nothing in common. That makes for difficult conversations. Adding our spiritual gifts into the mx, creates two guys with nothing in common who are constantly trying to figure out what makes the other one tick. Neither of us ever really knew how to treat the other.

You know, this was far more eloquent when I was planning it in my head on the way home. But I think you get the jist. It was a nice revelation and I am going to put forth more effort in strengthening my relationship with this guy. He may not be my youth pastor anymore, but I still work with him. Should prove interesting.

Did I mention that I am tired? Goodnight.
