i've been bothered for the past week about some things that came to light, one thing i mentioned in my last post, others that just came up recently.
i'm a christian, and i work so hard at keeping my beliefs in check when the rest of the world is going to hell in a hand basket (that idiom is not christian i realize but it states how i feel). the world is quickly becoming more self absorbed, me-oriented and where morals and standards aren't just what they used to be (case in point - 20 years ago someone with a mohawk would either be deemed a threat to society or gay. now people wear mohawks and it's no different than wearing a ponytail. not that i have anything against mohawks - i think they rock - but it's just an example).
this morning i got some very negative news about people that i held in high regard, and that their actions and behaviors are anything but christian. i'm sure there's a reason for why and what they're doing and frankly it's none of my business what they do. but what i think they're doing is very selfish, very mercenary, and very disrespectful. i'll leave it at that.
the second thing that's still bugging the crap out me (yet i realize it's none of my business and i shouldn't be judgemental) is the affair from my last post. this person was a christian person and very active in their church and they abandoned both to take up this affair and leave their family in the wake. it rocks my head. again, another influential person that i held in high regard. i know i don't know the background of the situation, but it just makes me sick to my stomach. no one deserves that kind of treatment.
this week is holy week, a week of deep reflection of what christ did for us so that we may live free (and sin boldy as per luther himself!). i pray that the people i'm concerned with see some kind of light and realize that what they're doing isn't what God intended (but like i said, no judgement!). i pray that i have some peace becos i can't change what others think or do, but i can try to be the best mom and wife to my son and husband.
