Oh Bother.....

I am really bothered at this moment in time. Not willing to share yet because I don't want to pass judgement until all the facts are gathered. But do you ever feel the pain when something is so wrong but the other party may not see it that way? And its way beyond "Well, I know I'm right..." Its more, like you know you are right and probably can approve it?

Bothered. A little angry. Disappointed. Ashamed. Just remember, we may think we care so much about others but do we? If we say we'll got to bat for someone but we have special requirements? I remember a family in a church we used to attend (up by Sacto) they were a family dealing with poverty, drugs, and probably some mental problems. My heart would burn for them. They used people by telling a sad story that had some truth to it (just a little overrated) Out of money, out of jobs, blended family, used to do drugs, drink, etc. The mother was overzealous and needy and sick. The father was just trying to keep his family afloat. Our pastor at the time, saw the poison and ran. They weren't in the "in" crowd. They didn't pay tithes. And from my outside view I could see their pain and nobody did anything about it. Jon and I did what we could and basically all they needed was somebody to talk to. I was disappointed. Ashamed. Angry. and Bothered.

I believe that churches all have "in" crowds. I believe even the church we attend may have one. I would like to see them destroyed because that folks is what causes division. Sorry its a heavy subject. But I need to vent. WWJD? I could go on....
