This seems like a good time to bring up a joke I heard many, many years ago. A pastor lived across from a golf course, every Sunday morning he’d get up early to make the final preparations for his sermon. One Sunday morning he went into his office to finish his sermon and opened the window on a bright shinny day with the sun beating down on the bright green grass of the golf course and thought, “No one will ever know if I use this sermon next week and use another one from a couple years ago for today, that will give me just enough time to get in a quick round of gold before church.”As the pastor was preparing to tee off on the first hole an angel approached God to tell him what was happening and offered to make sure that the pastor had the worst game of his life. “No, no,” God responded, “I’ve got this.” The pastor hit the ball for his first stroke and the ball flew straight and true and dropped right into the hole for a hole in one. As the pastor went on to have the best game of golf in his life the angel turned to God and said, “My Lord, I thought you were going to punish the pastor for skipping out on his proper duties to play golf.”“I did punish him,” God replied, “whose he going to tell about that hole in one?”

Same choice words, probably, too.

Now, that’s a counselling method I’d never used. Golfing with your members.
