Catching Up

Life has been busy since returning to work, so I may not blog as often. It is good being back to work as I need routine in my life. It is good to see my workplace friends and have lunch and hash out the problems of the world. I have been feeling a bit unsettled about some things, especially regarding church, and I have been comtemplating some important decisions I must make. My nephew says I need anger management, along with his mom, but kids do not realize the strain we are under, especially when your children don't do as they should, therefore the anger.

I am finding I cannot deal with the injustices I see and experience at church. I am not going to get into any particulars because I do not know who reads my blog, but I have empathy for the people who are being treated unjustly. People will let the love of money and unethical practices send them to hell. Just because someone is a relative does not mean they should sing all the songs, preach all the sermons, have all the positions, reap all the benefits and then you forget about everyone else who is working just as hard, supporting the cause and not even getting a thank you. I have to constantly remind these people and myself that we are doing this for God's glory, not man's honor. I would love to go to another church where I feel I could be happy, but I know that each church has its own unique set of problems and I would probably be running from the problem. I don't know how to deal with it because these "leaders" are not approachable. They do not like to deal with issues; I know because when it was suggested people could put their questions in a box and we have a business meeting to discuss them, it was met with a giant brick wall. They were not interested in what was wrong. It was get with the program or leave. And you cannot talk to people anyway you see fit and expect them to love it and do what you say. You cannot treat people like that. This is all I am going to say on this subject before I give away too much.

This is going to be a busy fall. My brother is coming to our church for a special program; he is the guest speaker; quilting class starts up tomorrow. The missionary board, of which I am a member, is supposed to go to visit a nursing home, but I will be at class. I will go the next time; I need my quilting class; it keeps me grounded. I am going shopping with a coworker the end of the month; then we have special services to attend at another church. October brings in the Provincial Women's Convention, more special services, Thanksgiving, Errol's Birthday, the pastor's anniversary banquet, a wedding of a friend, the Pastor's anniversary service, then Halloween. Not much free time for me, but I will make some; you can only do so much. There has to be a balance. All in all I am a happy person, but I do have my moments. Peace out.
