WORD has it that a prominent female pastor has traded her pulpit for the pitch! She is now a regular on the touchline.
We often hold certain individuals in society to a higher moral standard due to their social standing and perceived righteousness.
Pastors, evangelists, church leaders, gospel artistes, and prophets are among those expected to embody the values they preach.
Society struggles to accept the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ mentality, instead expecting these leaders to practice what they preach. When they falter, it can be shocking and spark intense interest.
Despite holding them in high esteem, we are often reminded that these individuals are, after all, human. They are flesh and blood, prone to the same weaknesses and frailties as the rest of us.
This notion is eloquently captured in a vernacular novel from a bygone era, aptly titled: ‘A Minister is just a person.’
This timeless reminder encourages us to separate the office from the individual, acknowledging that even the most revered leaders can falter.
Word reaching Yours Truly has it that a female pastor, formerly of a church renowned for its unique and united method worshiping style, has been making waves.
Interestingly, her surname begins with a prefix that translates to the vernacular term for a traditional sleeping mat.
Yes, those woven from reeds. Intriguing, to say the least!
Blabber has it on good authority that the once revered ‘Woman of God’ is now placing a price tag to that which she once preached to us all to preserve for loved ones.
Yes, thigh vending on the touchline!
Interestingly, this former pastor stands out on the touchline for her relatively modest attire, a testament to her respectable past.
Whether it is out of poverty or love for different tastes that has put her on the touchline, Blabber is yet to establish.
What Blabber only knows is that the absence of money can reveal a human being’s real character, often hidden when one had plenty of it.
The opposite is also true.
Whatever the reason, it is certainly a surprising turn of events.
Before signing out, it can only be fair to shed more light on that other muscular chap that Yours Truly was blabbering about in the previous insertion.
I mean the one who makes sumptuous meals near the gate to this other high school, and is also a meal for other men.
Blabber can reveal to you, gentle reader, that these are the same boys that used to refer to themselves as Americans.
In fact, one of them is already in the Diaspora, where he is said to have formalised his same sex marriage.
Blabber respects these boys as fellow human beings, and has nothing against them, but this questionable sexual orientation is just sickening, and makes Yours Truly understand better the source of their income.
May God help us all find acceptable ways of making money as we get into the New Year!
