I get criticized for thinking I have to get through this whole thing on my own.
And yet, I left a voice mail for KO on Friday and still no call back.
And twice I called JE tonight to talk with her about this and she cut me off asking if she could call me back. The [...]
He’s known whats coming. That is clearly evident by the hard work he’s done over the past week to avoid any length of conversation. Practically running out of the house or just dropping the boys off.
I just handed him the envelope last night as he was rushing out the door. Just said “here” and shoved [...]
I talked with the boys today after school.
Me: I want you to know that Dad and I are going to get a divorce.
DS1: ok
DS2: [showing some sadness] oh.
Me: I hope that for you guys it won’t really be any different than it has been for the last year.
DS1: (silence)
DS2: hm
Me: If you have questions you [...]

Since Friday, when I began to have serious doubts about the long-term viability of my work at with this congregation, I’ve had the following feedback. Unsolicited.
1. A beautiful card in the mail to the house saying “how much my music means to them”
2. 3 parents of confirmands whom I did not know before Thursday night [...]
C”B”P still won’t even talk to me during a Gospel Band rehearsal. She asked all her questions through JAS.
I fiddled with the balance of the band while they were rehearsing the songs for tomorrow. Got it a little better but LC’s insistance that everything has to be amplified and turned up is really starting to [...]
had a 1:1 conversation wit SE today. She observed/wondered outloud about how my job parallels my marriage. She was commenting on how she is observing that I’m putting far more energy into the relationship than the other party (in this case the congregation) and that I’m taking too much responsibility for the success of the [...]
I just read all the comments on the bolgblog post I linked earlier.

12:30 they finally got home from the McCartney concert.

TheBolgBlog: Please, no more doing church for ‘them’
IF the emerging church/post-denominational/post-modern folks are reacting to the “doing worship for them” or the “worship is mission” model it TOTALLY explains why they’d want to throw it out and claim it was irrelevant!!!
IF we do not CONTINUALLY teach and explain and model that worship actually is what [...]
