This is me (in my blonde phase) and my best friend, Tiff. If you can’t figure out who that other guy is … well, you’ll have to wait a minute for that story.
There are lots of pretty yucky things about being my friend. It is true. 11:30 phone calls from people wanting to get Jud’s home phone number. People that use her to get to me. She has quit going with me to church events since it takes me so long to get out of there. She has to talk to people about their B.O. because no one wants to hear that from their Pastor’s wife … its a long story. The list could go on and on.
But every once in a while, I get to throw a perk her way. It doesn’t really even out the pain of being friends with me, but it makes me feel a little better. So a couple of years ago, I arranged a little backstage meeting with Mr. T when he came to the church. Let’s just say, Tiff is easily star struck. I wish I had had my video camera, but I’ll share my favorite lines:
Tiff (jumping up and down excitedly): “You were my favorite cartoon!”
Mr T (also jumping up and down excitedly): “I forgot I was a cartoon!”
Priceless.
Anyone else ever have your friendships and relationships impacted by the fact that you are in leadership or ministry?
