During Lent our congregation joins with the Methodists, Presbyterians, and Episcopalians for worship and a simple meal on Tuesday nights. Last night was our night to host, so it was my turn to preach.
On Sunday I preached on forgiveness; however by Monday I was picking at an old wound again. I confessed as much during my Lenten sermon and one of our deacons piped up "You're normal!"
This made me smile--not because I'm proud of my sin--but because he recognized I struggle just like everyone else.
Part of helping one another grow as Jesus' disciples is saying "me too" to one another. It reminds us we're not alone--not even the pastor.
