Pastoral Counseling 101: Who Needs It?

If you are a pastor (or anyone for that matter) and are discussing the pain of loss someone is experiencing after the death of a loved one, this is probably not the best way to respond:

Darlene, I'm glad I ran across your blog. I still miss you. I am sorry to hear that your lover died of breast-cancer. Darlene is God sending you a message? Please consider coming back to Exodus. You are loved and missed. Why would God call you back to lesbianism, give you a lover and then take her away. I'm sorry that you are going through this. My heart is breaking right now but I believe that you belong to the Lord and "He chastizes the one's that he loves".

Just an FYI.

    It is things like that which make it hard for me to not swear.
