Well the day trip with my boss went well. But by the time I got back to the hotel and dropped him off, I had a mind splitting migrane. The kind that combines pain with dark blotches and waves of nausea. I staggered to my room and settled down to a mid afternoon nap.
I woke up to the phone. Headache somewhat subdued. He wanted to talk we got together and he described what any counselor would call spiritual abuse. He was even tuned into the thought. But he was resistant...unwilling to call it what it was. It revolved around the idea that major life choices (career, lifemate etc.) needed to be approved by a pastor in order to recieve the blessing of the church. Not the church universal...a local church! Without that approval there would be no blessing. Yikes...
We talked a little more but could make no headway...
Then off to supper with my boss...After a day of talking bottom line, margin, profit centers etc. he shifted into a very personal discussion of his life and kids and family...I was pleasantly surprised. A human face!
