Being a pastor can be an emotionally exhausting job. Today I was called on to mediate an argument between two professional, adult women (don't ask!) This is why I need friends who understand what I'm going through. This is why I need friends who will talk through the issues and joys I have within the church. This is why I need friends who will feed me ice cream and talk about completely non-church related stuff.
Example: About a month ago I was shopping with my good good friend/fellow female
pastor (GGF). As we walked through an ugly mall on a Friday evening, GGF turned to me and said, "You know who I feel sorry for?" My initial thoughts ran to -- the citizens of Iraq? The homeless? Pediatric oncologists? "No, who?" I responded. "Jennifer Aniston," GGF sighed. "Will she ever get over Brad getting together with Angie?"

I hope many pastors out there in blog-land enjoy a REAL day off tomorrow. And don't forget to say a little prayer for Jen.
