Yesterday was strange. I have been to many church services and sat through many messages. Yesterday, I honestly had no idea what the guy was talking about. He spoke about Jesus as a youth. I have read the gospels and there is very little information regarding Jesus up until he turns 30. The speaker was pulling stuff out that seemed like he was reaching a bit. It was weird, granted I was "enjoying" a bit of hangover from the night before.
Each week I feel increasingly disconnected from this church. When the first pastor left, several families, that we were close to, eventually left as well. There were eight people on the leadership team when I was on it. Four of them have left. I was determined to hang in there and see this thing through. Perhaps they knew something I didn't. I used to think that I was doing the noble thing by sticking around and continuing to give of my time and resources. I could have been wrong. We cannot leave now. My daughter is part of a youth group that she loves and it would break her heart. I won't put her through that. Besides, I doubt things are any different anywhere else. I would just find the same stuff somewhere else because the problem is most likely of my own making.
One thing I really enjoyed was Tom Hemby played some of his instrumental stuff. I was really digging it. Then the children's pastor had to pull me aside in the midst of one his songs to inform me that my son was traumatizing other children by declaring that there was no Santa Clause.
If she could have waited until after the service, I would have gladly taken each child aside and told them that my son was wrong and that there is a Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and a Boogie Man who will doll out a harsh punishment to my son for his disbelief. |

You're not the only one that had trouble following Darrell. What the hell was he talking about? He never resolved anything.
Tom was great as usual. I taught him well.
Your son rocks.
Few people get him. He is an amazing little guy. I doubt very many first graders could tell you all the systems of the human body and what organ goes with them. One of the other Den leaders is a doctor. We went camping and he and this doctor were discussing what the Spleen does.
