As I walked the Exhibition floor of the National Outreach Convention, I browsed the exhibits. One exhibitor, who sold services to ‘pastors’ said, “Oh, this is really more for pastors.” I replied, “I am a pastor.” She responded, “Oh, a youth pastor.

Anyway, this happened twice within a period of ten minutes.
