I sat up after closing devotions last night and watched the ESPN highlights of the Packers/Vikings game with Rev. Neil Nieman from Wisconsin... a Packer Season Ticket holder from birth. This morning Neil was wearing his Packers' shirt in mourning. At the breakfast table just now Rev. Fred Wideman from Baton Rouge rattled off the names of the entire Packers team from the Vince Lombardi days, impressing Neil to no end.
"Almost makes me teary-eyed," said Neil.
I thought out loud to the table of UMC youth people, munching their Frostes Flakes. "Imagine a job where every day there's 11 people in your face who's only goal is to tear your head off."
Then I turned to Fred.
"Oh yeah. You're youth pastors."
