I think some of it comes from years serving as a pastor, where pastors aren't supposed to have close friends, especially in the church!<BR/><BR/>Some of it came from parents who wanted to be self-sufficient and not really need anyone else.<BR/><BR/>However, the older I get, the more I disbelieve both of those reasons.<BR/><BR/>And, if I am ever given the opportunity to pastor again, I'll forget what I was taught in seminary and from my parents...and I'll develop long term, great relationships!M.
