Day of Controversy

eek
Jtv drama really took my morning away. After the trek to West High, our Hour at the OK Corral (Panera Bread) waiting for the Middle School to open up for business I composed my note to the management of Jtv. I pulled out my teacher hat, and my "mandated reporter" status and told them that they need to worry about the outrageous blogger and slander.
Then we played Dart ball with the oldies at St. Johns. Everyone "made nice." It hurts me so much as a follower of Jesus that these people can be so vicious and mean at the Nov. 1 meeting and then we all just get along as if the harsh words were never said. My husband the Pastor had a council meeting and it was as if it was no big deal that the congregation voted down the growth plan. This was a plan that the council had agreed to. When he suggested that a plan B be put in place-- the comment was "Who needs Goals" lets just do something. Lets have business cards. We already have them. There were suggestions of things we could do. But no plans to actually get them done.

This group is really dysfunctional. We live next door. They are a group of passive aggressive sheltered people. Sometimes I fear for our saftey. There is just something crazy here.
Jesus where are you in this Chaos. We are so hurt.

Always surprised--Tuesday 11-17-2009

I was surprised
  • by the weather-- imagine that. Cold November day.
  • By how nice the brakes on the Buick are now. We did just have them fixed...
  • By youngest daughter with hygene issues taking a shower WITH SHAMPOO! I went up to the bathroom and monitored the process from the behind the door.
  • By a student really working on her musicianship rather than wasting time lamenting her abilities--just get to work.
  • By Zena the dobergirl not chewing her toes, we wrapped her foot in a sock with neosporin-- she was so embarrassed. Not a dog like thing to have on your foot.
  • By googlewave and how fun it is.
  • By min Geselle and the nice dinner he made for us
  • BUT ALSO
  • By how mean people are to a young friend on Jtv--I am always surprised by meaness.
