You've Got to be Kidding Me

 

I just don't get it.  I don't understand when it became a good idea to:

• Say that my wife being paralyzed over most of the left side of her body isn't a big deal and that God's going to arbitrarily snap his magic fingers and make everything perfect overnight.
• Claim to be our home church, but be completely non-responsive to our need.
• Attempt to use this surgery and paralysis as leverage to get us into a new church when my wife can barely move.
• Crow about being a Christian hospital and then blackmail, abuse, and harass my wife as a patient.

So, if you are a pastor who cares more about your hobbies or your offering plate than people, may your followers vanish and your "ministry" fail.  If you are a holy-rolling Job's friend type who dismisses everyone's pain and suffering as trivial because your life's been easy, please do the world a favor and poke yourself in the eye with something pointy.  Oh, and if your first thought is to comment and tell me how everyone and everything is so great and/or everything's going to work out just peachy and/or that its all for my good and God's glory, just don't.  I really can't stand any more bull.

Ground up Gears Again

Time for another installation of gear grinding. Things pissing me off:

Delusional 50's style TV shows that try to make life look perfect. News flash, life's not perfect.

Adults who act like they're still 3 years old.

Harry Potter Owl (Legend of the Guardians) commercials.

Using children to guilt people into supporting corrupt groups.

Financially secure people openly complaining about their jobs.

What Grinds My Gears

A brief list of things that have begun to really get on my nerves:

• The feds suing AZ for no good reason
• Proposition 8 (just an fyi, it doesn't matter how many people voted for it if it's unconstitutional)
• Hopeless optimists
• Pastors
• Gossiping Pastor's wives

There's plenty of other things, but this is the top of the current list.
