You know you're a pastor's family when...

So I have been seeing lots of these "you know whens" lately with other occupations/locations and when ConLai said something that was obviously a p.k. thing, I had to do one.

You know you're a pastor's family when...
...your kid tells others they live at church and come home to sleep...your kid's idea of daddy's and mommy's jobs is "work at church" and "bible study"

...a conference doubles as a romantic getaway

...your neighbors are immediately hesitant when they find out what you do

...you have 5 adopted grandpas and grandmas...Christmas means assorted nuts

...you avoid the label, "pastor's wife" as often as possible to prevent preconceived ideas from others

...in the interview, they ask if you are musical

...the wife sees her even-keeled, calm, amiable husband in a whole new light...your vacations are advertised in the church bulletin

...playing hooky on sundays isn't an option

...you want to wear sweats and a raggedy t-shirt to church just to be rebellious

...you get a Christmas card & letter from someone you've never talked to in your life

Ha Ha Ha, that is funny, Is there a "Pastors" magazine you could send that in too, or do you think some of them would be censored? -Dawson

Danny and I enjoyed this too, especially your vacation being in the church bulletin! :) Thanks for sharing! :)
