Thoughts about life that trouble me

1. No matter how I say the following items somebody will be mad about it.

2. Over the course of my life, I have lost 99% of respect for pastors. This is in no small part due to personal experiences involving several of them acting childish and narrow (together, of course). And I don't have a satisfactory answer as to what good they truly perform in our society that cannot be otherwise done while holding down a real job.

3. Why must people yell and scream and bully their children, then get so surprised and offended when their children repeat this behaviour? Guess what! They are watching YOU and I for cues. Such a difficult concept for adults!!!!!!!!!

4. If we cannot change the pain, and we cannot alleviate the pain, we can only integrate the pain into our existence. Which sounds......painful.......may God allow an existence full of grace.

5. YOUR THOUGHTS HERE

Ruth you are amazing!! and wise!!! and should start following my blog too!!! :)
I agree with your thoughts (you would very much like the current pastor at E Free!-he is honest and up front about things and is truly a good man).
I am having a hard time with patience these days. Patience with hubs, Elizabeth and myself-which in turn makes me a kind of nasty wife, parent and person! ugh!! THIS troubles me .....
