This has been “one of those days”. A man and woman came in to the church a little while ago, wanting money for gas. The pastor wasn’t here and I explained that we don’t keep money on hand, but gave him a number to call the pastor. The man did all the talking and got quite confrontational. He kept arguing, challenging everything I said, and making comments that I was treating him badly because of his race.

I asked him to leave, but he wouldn’t. So I called the nurse who was in her office at the other end of the hall. Her husband was there with her. She came down to talk to him and he treated her the same way. So she started to dial the police on her cell phone and I called back down to her office and asked her husband to come to the office. The man finally decided to leave and we locked the door behind him.

Things like that don’t happen very often, but it is a little unnerving when they do.

Today is another hot day. It started out about 60 degrees, but is expected to get up to 93.
