After resigning his pastorate to go lead another church, a pastor was approached by an endearing older member of the congregation. She wept over the pastor’s decision to leave and said, “Things will never be the same.”
The minister tried to console her by saying, “Don’t worry, I’m confident you will get a new pastor who is better than me.”
She continued to sob and replied, “That’s what the last three pastors have said, but they just keep getting worse.”
