Rough Week

It's been a tough week in the Narthex. Silly turf wars masking issues of real importance. Simple programming questions give rise to questions of temperment, call and competence. Have we become so PC that simple direct questions are percieved as fighting words?

Sometimes church is simply exhausting. So many people looking to be slighted in everything. Are they really so insecure? Perhaps.

Striking the balance between accountability and love. Do you express your anger at the moneychangers in the temple or turn the other cheek. Makes one wonder about the wisdom of worrying about spoiled church people when we should be seeking out the marginalized like our Lord Jesus. Then again, it was the marginalized and the children? Should I go to the mat over the children's ministry? Do the difficulties the youth have with community stem from years of inadequate ministry to children?

Seeking God's path on the razor's edge of faith. You would think the path would be clear. Guide and direct me O Lord for my ways are not your ways but I seek to have your heart. Well I guess I wasn't alone in my crappy week. At least I'm not the pastor.
