One thing we need to address is that Pastors are not celebrities. You should have access to ypur pastors not kowtow at their appearance like they are gods. It should not be easier for Elumelu to see your pastor than it is for you.
In Moses' time, everyone had access to him. He was attending to everyone's need himself before his father in-law advised him to raised leaders from among them so the burden is shared. Anyone beyond them, they bring to Moses.

As for Jesus, he was always focused on the poor, suffering, nondescript and children. Even the rich had to find a way to get to him. Contrary to what paintings portray, Jesus was dressed like his disciples that was why the killers of Jesus could not identify him from his disciples. They asked Judas, how to identify Jesus and he said and I quote "The one I would kiss." That is why we say Jesus was betrayed by a kiss. Prior to that time, Jesus had escaped many attempts to capture him. Jesus also treated his followers as friends and that is also why it was difficult to tell who he was from them.
In any church today, you can tell the senior pastor from the other pastors by where he is seated, how he is dressed and how they relate with him. Many junior pastors live in fear of the senior pastors. Is it members that won't be afraid? There is this awe and fear I see in people when it comes to their pastors and it is embarrassing. People literally worship their pastors. LOL
That is because you put your pastors on pedestal, make them rich, don't hold them accountable or even question what they teach through the scripture. They are celebrities and gods of men.

The Unsung Heroines of Space:

In the 1960s, at the height of the space race, a group of African American women mathematicians at NASA played a pivotal role in some of the most significant achievements in space exploration. Yet, their stories remained largely untold until recent years. These brilliant minds, often referred to as "human computers," broke both gender and racial barriers in an era when segregation and discrimination were rampant.
Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and others were central to the success of many of NASA’s missions, including John Glenn's historic orbit around the Earth. Their mathematical genius provided the calculations critical for ensuring the safety and success of these missions.
Katherine Johnson's trajectory analysis was vital for the success of the first American in space, Alan Shepard, and the first American to orbit the Earth, John Glenn. Glenn famously asked for Johnson to recheck the computer’s calculations before his flight, underscoring the trust and respect these women commanded.
Dorothy Vaughan, an expert in FORTRAN, a computer programming language, became the first African American supervisor at NASA and played a crucial role in transitioning from human to mechanical computers.
Mary Jackson, NASA’s first African American female engineer, made significant contributions to the understanding of air flow in aeronautics. Her work helped improve the design of aircraft and space vehicles.
These women's stories were brought to light in the popular movie "Hidden Figures," showcasing their courage and determination in the face of societal challenges. Their legacy is not just in their mathematical calculations, but in breaking down barriers for women and African Americans in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
As we reflect on the achievements of these extraordinary women, it's crucial to acknowledge the barriers they overcame and the paths they paved for future generations. Their story is a testament to the power of intellect and perseverance against the odds.
The legacy of these remarkable women continues to inspire young people, especially girls and underrepresented minorities, to pursue careers in STEM fields. As we push the boundaries of space exploration, the story of these "hidden figures" serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that talent and ambition know no boundaries of race or gender.
