A complete stranger upon hearing that I have been a pastor in the past, am Seminary trained and plan on being a pastor again became more comfortable with the situation they were in, just because I was doing it too.
This wasn't new to me. People justify their actions based on pastor's actions too often.
These kind of experiences force me to evaluate the proper line of vulnerability of one's past with the adequate privacy and non-disclosure to remain healthy.
Mitch felt like he wasn't being "impure" today because I said I didn't have an ounce of guilt over what I was doing (playing cards). We had a long an interesting discussion that went far beyond playing cards an into lots of interesting life areas, but this perspective is what I've reflected on the most.
