One of the saddest things ever said to me was by a co-worker whose father was a WELS synod official, "My dad was never home."

GJ - I heard DP Free say he was never home, and he was boasting, as WELS leaders do, about all the work they do. In contrast, Sam Walton was known for the time he spent hunting with his dawgs, and trips with his family when he also checked on his stores.

I am not sure how much sympathy to have for PK's (Pastor's Kids)...
First, there are a LOT of peoples whose fathers (non Pastors) did NOT simply work a 9 to 5 job, with weekends off.
Second, many pastors I have known spend a great deal of time at home during the week. True, they are in the pulpit on Sundays and Holidays when it seems like everyone else gets to spend some time with their families, but this is simply the exact opposite of their parishioners men who are gone during much of the week.
Third, true, pastors are on call, but they have a lot of down time...they can seek their kids during the day when most other fathers can't.
A lot of people can say "my dad was never home", but can add "because he was making a decent life for his loved ones".

GJ - Grumpy - Adolph said "a WELS synod official." They are not pastors.

Oops, sorry...although most synodical officials in the WELS have MDIV degrees....

GJ - They probably do, but that does not make them pastors. They consider themselves executives and make sure they make even more money than seminary professors.
