Have you ever had that feeling that all was wrong in the world?
I feel like that now! Everything is wrong in the world!

Confronted the my two dear friends from yesterday about the crude rude comments. No satisfaction there! (Lots of excuses and reasons...gr! Can't you just say plain "I'm sorry, I was wrong"???) I WANT to say a lot more to them. But I think my moment has passed...WHYYYYYYYY!

Had lunch with Gracia again. Just talking about various issues...was very depressing. Not depressing "I'm going to jump off a cliff now", more depressing "this is so discouraging!"- a passive depressing.

THINGS I WOULD SAY TO LOCKIE/DAVE IF I HAD THE GUTS
# For Goodness sakes, kids really look up to you so watch what you do.
# Crude and crass calls outside of a church context are NOT on. I DON'T CARE that it's out of church context...would you be happy to let a kid see you act that way??
# Your precious little quartet has ramifications for other people in the ministry. Open your eyes and take a look.
# You are not always right or justified in what you have done.
# There was this time when I overheard Dave trying to convince Andy K to go to Silverchair without his parents knowing or approving or something. We are trying to get the kids to honour their parents! Don't undermine them!
# I have trust issues with both of you. You don't seem to me as being upfront or honest- you're always muttering to each other about SOMETHING. You give me the creeps.
# Dave, Gracia just wants you to be responsible. Even if your priorities are the kids and not necessarily the lights or the supper....that does not give you the right not to do things, nor the right to forget. If you forget just say "Oh yeah, I did, sorry" and don't do it next time. Believe it or not, I actually think that she is not targetting you PERSONALLY.

I know that anyone who actually reads my blog would have this impression that these two are absolute bastards...they aren't. Lucky for me, I feel like they (to some degree anyway) respect me. (Apparently there are leaders out there who feel like they are these big powerbrokers and are scared to say stuff in front of them.) I think the amount of my bitching about them says more about the fact that I have not had the guts to have it out with them- if I did, you probably wouldn't even be reading this stuff now. But for lots of things that have irked me, my moment has passed.

Sigh.

That is not all that is wrong in the world. Mmm. Kids have issues. Kids' parents have issues. There's so much wrong that I feel pretty helpless. O well...God be in those situations.

(Guess what?? Finished two assignments a few days before due date, how amazing is that?? Wow!! Hehehe)

adieu!
