I am a Pastor’s wife. I tell as few people about that as possible, because I tend to see people’s eyes divert from mine in a strange way as I know they are saying in the back of their minds…”FREAKY!”

I thought I’d share with you the top 10 funniest moments as a Pastor’s wife I remember from the past 16 years of ministry at Granger Community Church:

10. At our garage sale this summer, a frantic woman jumped out of her car and stalked right up to Rob, who was sitting in our garage, and said angrily, “Do you do weddings here or what?”

9. One day at work I overheard a woman and her friend talking about what a terrible place our church was, and how they would never, ever send their children there because we do not sing hymns on a regular basis. When she stepped up to my register, I introduced myself as a pastor’s wife from GCC. I was glad to meet her and happy to answer any questions she had about our church. I seriously wish I had a camera to record the look of horror on her face.

8. When Rob and I were wrangling our three children in the Aldi parking lot, and a church member called my husband a snob because he didn’t immediately say “hi” to him. (Which he did, but the guy didn’t hear him)

7. When a church member saw me through my bedroom window sitting on my bed at my house yelled through my window, “I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!”

6. When my daughters’ friend came to church with us for the first time and said, “My Mom said it was ok to come to church with you because it’s not real church anyway.”

5. When a woman insisted that she needed weekly one on one time with my husband for prayer and counseling. She was our neighbor. She wanted him to come to her house for this “counseling.”

4. Several times over the years I have had well meaning adults ask me what Rob does with the rest of his time since he only preaches like once a week.

3. When people ask me if Rob is like “that” at home.

2. On Easter Sunday one year I answered the phone and a lady kept yelling, “Tell Rob to meet me at the gas station! My life is falling apart! I just need to touch a Pastor. I just need to touch a Pastor!”

1. Before Rob and I even had kids, a lady asked me how my baby was. “I don’t have a baby.” I said. “Yes you do.” “No…I don’t.” “Yes! You do!” she yelled, and walked away.
