I have always thought compliments... the real ones... not just the thank you but the semi-true ones that people give you are just hard to take. We are always saying be humble but take the compliment.... its just hard... one of these days I am just going to say "yes, you're right!"
Ethical Dillema #1
Tonight I was in conversation with a random group of parents and the shots they took at our church (including pastors) just continue to become more and more awkward. I don't believe they meant them with evil intent but I am not sure how to take it. Especially when I agree with them. Lieing and representing the church is one option. Just nodding my head is another, looking a bit confused and just throwing in the occasional "mmm.... yeah" with a contemplative sigh is another I have seen folks do, or I could just bring the blunt honest "yes you are right." But does this last remark on my part turn the back on the church and the pastors. Awkard moments represent something huge in our lives... not just funny moments but something that is profoundly true and profoundly raw within us.
By the way I should be studying for Ords and not writing this
