The priest was giving a sermon condemning the atrocities by Russia in Ukraine. I wanted to shout that he's a liar — but there's a time and a place for everything. Knowing that the worshippers were being misled and deceived was no surprise intellectually, but I so rarely go inside any ecclesiastical building (childhood allergy hasn't receded) that it really hit me to experience it.
Live. Not. By. Lies.
It takes all I can muster to stay seated when someone preaches or prays at the pulpit about something theyve heard on fake news!! I want to hollar LETS TALK ABOUT JESUS, DAMMIT!
Mom, g'ma, believer, caregiver, I stop in to get truth and relieve stress. Thanks to all you brave souls!
Its a good thing that rolling your eyes is usually silent! I know Ive got work to do on myself! Not very Christlike.
