Pastor's Song

Tell me where, where does a fool go, when there's no one left to listen;
To a story without meaning, that nobody wants to hear?
Tell me where, where does a fool go, when there's nothing left to live for;
Tell me where, where does he go from here? (lyrics from Paul Williams, I believe?)

Ever since I heard these lyrics from the movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges), I have thought it an appropriate dirge for the progressive pastor.

We're stuck with a message that is out of date, boring and irrelevant. Preaching to the pews or to the dead who are in them, is not very inspiring. I'm not sure how I made it this long.

I'm tired of the same old story, rehashing the biblical narrative and trying to find new ways to make it remotely interesting. I wonder what the real Jesus was like!? Would he really understand the church of today, or would he recoil, 'what in the world were you thinking?!'
