A few months ago, I attended a conference held by a church where I had filled the pulpit a few times a while back. An elder at the church recognized me, and we chatted briefly.
During the conversation, he laughed and said, "I hope you aren't offended by this, but I remember the car you drive better than I remember your sermons."
I laughed. I wasn't offended, but internally it hurt a bit.
Then, he said, "You drove a Porsche, right?"
No, I have never owned a Porsche.
Of course, by now I am feeling rather awful. He remembered my car better than my sermons, but it turns out he didn't remember my car.
God has a way of showing us that we are less than we thought we were.
