I'm irritated. Or maybe it's a little bit of holy discomfort. The ashen cross hasn't even smudged off my forehead and I'm already angry with someone in my family.
I know that my husband is clueless about what role he should play as the spouse of a clergywoman. But he chose to tease me about how pungent the aroma of the Ingera was (a flatbread that I literally spent HOURS preparing with a good friend). He compared it to the smell of feet and cheese.
For crying out loud, I JUST preached a sermon about being reconciled to one another and he teases me in front of members of the congregation like I'm a flake and a dummy. Do I go into his classroom and tease him about his weaknesses within hearing of his students?
Sometimes I completely understand why Paul preached a celibate lifestyle. It was so these awkward family moments wouldn't be played out in front of the congregation.
