now THAT was some preacher's wife bullshit!

[Deleted]

wow. that's pretty intense (you being asked, i mean. no one asks lawyers to pray for them).

[VeryViolet]

I am catholic I would just say a Hail Mary and be done with it. I am always impressed with people who can do nice prayers that are from the heart.

[jane6672]

Dude. She waited till the prayer circle had formed up, and then sprang it on you? She could have at least said "Frkls, would you mind praying?" beforehand.

[Jermys]

Ugh. I suck at being put on the spot like that

I'm so glad my husband is not a preacher.

Just remember - it's better than someone complaining your garbage stinks!

[ThirdandLong]

I can sympathize. I almost always feel awkward leading prayer. Others always do appreciate it though. I'm sure the ladies that commented to you were being honest. And I'm sure your prayer was appropriate and helpful.

Are you a preacher's wife?? I didn't know that....that was really weird of the instructor. She should have asked you first, not in front of everyone.

[annyong]

Wow, you rock. Not many people could do that! I'm sure you made her feel better!

I can't believe the instructor put you on the spot like that. Ugh.

[kellbell191]

Um that is ridiculously presumptuous of the teacher. I would have been wigged out!

Its one of those things where nobody knows the "right" thing to say. I'm sure you did better than most people would have.

What kind of workout class is this? You talk about other people's miscarriages and pray?

[mrsjuleshs]

I love how being the preacher's wife means that people think that you should lead all prayers.

meh, I haven't been participating on this board for very long so I must have missed it.
