Not a skit or drama per se, but could be a monologue used for humor, perhaps during Pastor Appreciation Month.
You might be a pastor…
If anyone has ever approached you saying only, “You
know that verse about love in the Bible…” and expected you to give chapter and
verse, then you might be a pastor.
If you gave them the exact verse they were looking
for on your first offering, then you might be a pastor.
If people start running for the exits when you walk
near the choir director’s microphone, then you might be a pastor.
If you find a typo in your notes in a single glance,
but find one in the bulletin only after the last copy is made, then you might
be a pastor.
If you chose your doctor and dentist based upon the
version of the Bible they have in the waiting room, then you might be a pastor.
If you have considered a career change to TV
producer—who wouldn’t watch CSI Golgotha,
then you might be a pastor.
If you have a sermon to go with every down
and distance likely to occur in a
football game, then you might be a pastor.
If people feel obliged to purposefully interchange
the world seminary and cemetery in
light conversation around you, then you might be a pastor.
If other people you know interchange these two words
believing them to be synonymous, then you might be a pastor.
If you have learned not to use words like synonymous
in conversation so you don’t have to explain that it has nothing to do with sin
or anonymity, then you might be a pastor.
If the minutes of the last meeting ever included the
phrase, “everyone was in favor and the vote was anonymous,” then you might be a
pastor--and you knew not to say anything.
If you can pick up a conversation when someone walks
into your office after eight months and says, “You remember that thing we were
talking about,” then you might be a pastor.
When looking at some of the more colorful Facebook posts
of your congregation, the only comment that you can make on many of them is “so that grace
may abound even more,” then you might be a pastor.
If someone asks you where the dish is that they
brought to the fellowship meal three years ago, then you might be a pastor.
If you take them right to their dish without
hesitation, then you might be a pastor.
If you have been microwaving your lunch in that same
dish for the past two years, then you might be a pastor.
If you can’t remember what today is but do remember
the lectionary selections, then you
might be a pastor.
If people keep dropping off used dryers at your
house because you talk about Lent for over a month
each year, then you might be a pastor.
If you can find three sermons in every country and
western song, then you might be a pastor.
