I've been scouring the Internet for resources for Pastor's Wives. How to make this PW stuff better? Part of the answer lies with me. Yes, I might have to change. I admit that some of what I do produces some of what I deal with. But ...The congregation is also part of the picture. A healthy, loving, supportive congregation will make a healthy, loving, trusting and open pastor's wife a lot more

It does seem that some things have mellowed somewhat, but for some denominations, for some churches, for some women. Essentially, it's still the same song, just a different verse.I'm attempting to make a Definitive

Fortunately, in our denomination, when a church is seeking a pastor the usual practice is to include The Wife on the interview weekend. There's an amazing variety in the way the search committees involve The Wife in interview weekend goings-on, but usually, I've been given a chance to ask questions, too.

Most days, running uphill is not very fun. Sometimes, when I'm feeling really fit and the weather is great and my shoes aren't that old, running uphill is a blast.
