First there was the brother who happily pointed out that I'd missed two meetings recently and that he was keeping track.
No way! How tactless!
And yet, there seems to be at least one of those in every hall or church in my experience. I think it boosts their ego or something. You must have been a heck of a "spiritual brother" before your fade. And now the people who couldn't keep up with you, but are now surpassing you, are going to remind you in subtle ways like that. I always disliked that competitive spirit that more than a few had.
Either that or maybe that is just the way some people say "I miss you" in a macho way.
