My father is a pastor...a well groomed, neat and tidy, handsome man. He takes pride in his looks and is always respectful to all people. This, to certain female minds, means "I want a man like that!" I recall a middle aged female suddenly attending our church for about 3 Sundays in a row. Mom and dad are always trying to beat the crowd to the back door as to greet all visitors and congregation. Finally, they got to meet this 'visitor" and greeted her warmly. The lady asked if she could speak privately with dad. Dad agreed, and as usual, kept his office door wide open with mom just outside the door, pretending she was arranging things. The woman got directly to the point. She told dad that her husband and her were not successful in conceiving children. Her husband was infertile. Instead of adopting, they chose to pick a male who would best suit their taste for their child. Her question was "Would you ever consider donating your sperm so that we can have a baby? You have the color hair, the build, the look, the personality and the style that we would want for our future child. And, you are a man of GOD! There would be no sex involved, just being a donner would suffice!". Mom overheard this request and almost fainted! No, dad was embarrassed and did not comply. What I am saying is that good looking, non-balding male pastors are 'targets' as well. Are they not to listen to the Holy Spirit's calling, just because they may be viewed as being masculine?
