This made me smile.

When I went thru Lutheran confirmation, my first year was with Pastor Opsahl. He could handle my inquisitiveness & did not consider any doubts I expressed as heresy.

We moved & my 2nd year I went to another Wisconsin synod church in the next town from where we now lived {my 1st church was 75 miles away}. When this Pastor asked me if I had faith in the holy words of the bible, I responded honestly that I had faith in Jesus.

The Pastor said what about the bible? I said I had trouble trusting the men who translated the bible. The Pastor looked thoughtful & then resumed the lesson for the day. 

When my father came to pick me up, the Pastor took him aside & told dad that I'd be a better fit at the church in our new town. When dad grilled me on the ride home & explained what transpired. Dad said "this is probably for the better."

You don't always get what you expect, but you know what you got when you inspect. Happiness comes from within, some poor souls are just without.
