Being raised in houston churches it was not uncommon for there to be a "don't just drop by" mentality...
Frankly, a lot of people in our church didn't even know where the pastor lived or had certainly never been over there.
I guess I took that to Oklahoma with me....and it works just fine. The people I pastor are happy that i don't just show up...and they are just as happy that I get the same courtesy.
They know they are welcome to talk with me...but a phone call is expected and appreciated.
