Pastors Know You're In Trouble When...

-You baptize seven people in the river and you lose two of them in the swift current.

-The Women's Ministry voted to send you a get-well card and the vote passed 21-20.

-The Elder's Board accepted your job description the way you wrote it and they were so inspired by it, they also formed a search committee to find somebody capable of filling the position.

-You finally found a choir director who does things exactly the same way you do and the choir mutinies.

-Your women's softball team finally won a game, but hey beat your men's softball team.

-The Church Council finally voted to add more church parking by blacktopping the front lawn of your parsonage.

-Church attendance rose dramatically the last three weeks while you were on vacation.

-Your Elder's want to send you to the Holy Land, but they are waiting until the next war.

-Your biggest critic just left your church, yet he was appointed as the Head Bishop of your state.

-The youth in your church came to your house for a surprise visit in the middle of the night and they are armed with toilet paper and shaving cream to "decorate" your house.
