I know exactly what you are saying. I honestly didn't realize what working at a church would be like. You experienced it for a number of years, I'm only 18 months or so into it...and I have trouble dealing with the shouting sometimes. But...I'm probably a shouter from time to time too, so I need to watch my own attitude. I think I might have to post about something similar. It's interesting conversation!

Fans sit so close to the court that they are much more intimate with the players. For example: Why is it that we will tolerate all kinds of violence in hockey, football, etc games, but when it comes to violence in basketball, we freak out? Is it really a "full contact" sport or isn't it supposed to be more refined? In that same way, we treat the "players" in our church sphere as being unable to hear us. But in fact, the "playing court" is a whole lot closer to us than we expect or realize. I want to be good, really I do. When I catch myself saying things I shouldn't, I need a kick in the pants!

Anyone who is honest can see themselves painted into this example. Our human nature is such though, that we will paint someone else into the picture first. I am certainly not exempt. Your night out sounds like fun, though. So glad you guys had that opportunity! GREAT analogy!

I do all those things all the time and now I feel bad. Good job making me think, you know how much I hate that. Stop, your making me uncomfortable.
