Craig:
Well today is mothers day and it will be the first time since being called out of the church that I won't be attending with my mother.  Even though it is 5 years since being called out, I have attended easter and mothers day because mom would lay an egg if I didn't.  I didn't go to easter this year and it was bad, i'm not attending mothers day today and it will be very, very bad. 

I probably would have attended until I was told they were trying to break the attendance record.  The church is relativley small so seating and parking would be a problem that I just didn't want to deal with for an hours worth of sleep ;)  Get this, if they break the record the preacher will go down to the creek behind the church and catch a snapping turtle bare handed.  Woooa.   With my luck the attendance record will fall 4 short and my brood of 5 would have put them over the top.  If thats the case, I'll have a years supply of eggs.:D

All joking aside, the hardest part of being called out is the anger you endure from family and friends.  All I can do is try to live the sermons they only listen to.  I can use some prayer strength today as I leave for dinner.  (If I'm still invited)

Hi Craig,

We never know what our brothers are going through, until they share it with us.  I feel sympathy for you in your situation, because our moms are so special to us.  I will say a pray that some how this will turn into a blessing for you and your mom  :)

mercy, peace and love

Funny story Craig... I know it's true though as I have experienced the same.

It is interesting how we can be frowned upon or scorned because we are free indeed.

Craig I do feel your pain.

BUT.....MY mom is in a nursing home w/ alzheimers and I am not even driving up there to see her.  I WISH i would have spent more time w/ her. My mother in law died of cancer a few years ago and I still miss her, even tho we went round and round about Lutherans vs Pentecostals.  What a waste of time and energy I spent on that lie.

In the whole scheme of things and knowing what we know is truth, maybe it wouldn't have been so awful to attend w/ her or send the kids or send an olive branch of some kind??

I am speaking as a 59 year old w/ grown kids.  THEY wish I would come to church w/ them!!

It is a crazy world we live in.   Just make sure if you can that your mom KNOWS  you LOVE her!
