I know you can darlin'. I started to whine earlier about bein' here with Luke and Nana (and Jr. soon) by myself for several more days. Then I thought of you.
It was kinda neat Sunday at church. On Mother's Day and Father's Day the pastor has the respective parents stand for a special prayer time. Sunday he asked the single moms to stand because they play a lot of the father role.
I could tell it meant a lot to some of the women.
Heh. Our pastor said right off he wasn't going to lecture the fathers this year, he'd let them off easy, but then he gives some sort of "quit ye like men" message every few weeks. He's good on that.
Appropriately enough for Father's Day, our denomination passed a call for the government to uphold marriage. Also called on married folk to work harder at their marriages... Pastor tied that in, which is something since it was only passed two days before.
It does indeed.
That's one of things I have a small problem with in my church. My pastor focuses a lot of his sermons on the role of fathers and the only time I've heard him speak of women was on Mother's Day.
I asked for an appointment to speak with him about where single moms fall in his view of things and when I showed up, his wife met with me instead of him. So I asked her and she said that I am actually serving both roles right now and she'd speak to him about it.
That was a month ago, and I haven't heard any change in his style yet. Then again, he could have said something this past Sunday when I was away. *smile*
But I wouldn't think that your job is any easier. Not by any means.
