A new series highlighting the odd, bizarre, funny, or perhaps even heretical behavior of those who claim the title "pastor".

#005: The case of the angry female calvinist
For centuries pastor's have played a valuable role in helping couples overcome marital problems. While the professional counseling movement has "invaded" what was the church's traditional territory, the pastor is still seen by many as an important source of reasoned and wise biblical and practical insight.
However, it seems at least one pastor is in need of her own counseling. A female pastor of a Reformed church has been sentenced to two-years participation in a violence education program after slashing her husbands arm to the bone with a kitchen knife.
It appears hubby was chatting it up with someone in on online chat-room (while sitting at the kitchen table) when the wife became enraged and carved up his arm like it was a Thanksgiving turkey.
Personal application: Recently I bought the new model iPod nano. I was listening to it at the dinner table, when my wife gave me "the look" (i.e. which clearly communicated this thought: "put it away now or there will be consequences"). Having already read the above news story, I decided it would be wise to obey.
Moral of this story: Wives, technology, and family meals are a potentially lethal combination.
