Getting ready to tune into an online church service this morning. And I’m reminded of something from the days the girls and I went to church regularly during their growing up years.
One Sunday,
the minister said he had been working on the sermon earlier in the week. He had
typed the word pastoring and suddenly spell check jumped up with a
message, apparently pastoring was not recognized as a word. And spell
check asked did he mean to type pasturing, or maybe he meant posturing!
The
minister was amused. Ministers might easily be construed as pastoring, pasturing,
and posturing all at the same time.
What a
lovely set of three words to string together like that – and one could apply
them to most public speakers, I suppose.
Truth be told, however, our minister did not posture, I don’t think, but he has retired, so the pastor these days is indeed out to pasture – a well deserved and lovely pasture, I am sure!
