Wow. I love this. I just love it, Nancy. You have just humanized these men. Offered them grace. Offered us the same grace. Thank you!

Great post Nancy! As others have already said, pastors are people just like everyone else. We are not super-human or even super-spiritual. We struggle just like everyone else (I for one struggle with depression). We get hurt just like everyone else. We make mistakes just like everyone else. And we need to integrate our faith into our workplace just like everyone else. As Jason pointed out, "we're all in the process"!

Nice to "see" Nancy here.

Preachers are just people who need just as much love and grace — and friendship. That is one of the gifts of the blogosphere – community and comraderie – to be real.

Throw into that mix a preacher who has another full-time job (like me) and it gets even more interesting! You definitely feel those expectations and you don’t want to let people down, but you also just let them know as often as possible that you’re real with weaknesses, doubts, and fears. We’re all in the process. Leading the Church is not predicated on perfection (thank You, Lord!).

Great post, Nancy- thanks!

"Suffer the hope of loving and being beloved" couldn't be said better, Maureen. Your words and thoughts are valuable Nancy. The purity of your words, is as always, like clean rain.

I think preachers, priests, ministers, those who, by any name, are called could not do their job if they were not like us, filled with the same doubts, the same yearnings, the same reaching for Spirit's hands. They, too, suffer the hope of loving and being beloved.
