Some people will threaten to leave the church if they don’t get what they want and intentionally create a wave of destruction in their departure that takes the pastors months to mop up. Some people will complain that the pastors never share their weaknesses, yet those very people when upset with the pastor will use his revealed weaknesses against him when given the opportunity. Some will complain that the pastors never reach out to them and then when the pastor reaches out, they will accuse him of badgering them. Some will want the all the details of leadership decisions and then accuse the pastors of gossiping when they share anything. Some will tell the pastors they need to delegate more, yet they feel slighted when their situation is delegated to another. And possibly most difficult of all, some people will show great zeal for the Lord, encourage the pastor’s heart and monopolize much of his time, and then walk away, but not before stabbing him in the back and breaking his heart.

1/2	c	Water
2	tb	Tamarind glaze

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saute pan, melt the sugar and add the kumquats, shallots, and
1/2 cup of water. It will form its own syrup. Allow to slowly cook for 10
minutes. Meanwhile, combine the tamarind glaze, garlic, and 1/4 cup chicken
stock, season with salt and pepper. Season and grill the pork chops,
occasionally basting with the tamarind glaze. After the kumquats have
cooked for 10 minutes, add the remaining stock, bring to a boil and simmer
for 5 minutes. Season, it may need some more sugar, depending on how tart
the kumquats are. Remove the pork from the grill, place on plates and top
with some of the kumquat sauce. Drizzle with any remaining tamarind glaze.
This recipe yields 2 servings.
