This is not how it's supposed to freakin' be!!!
I HATE THE CHURCH!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love God and I know that Christ is his son and my savior. I am just so sick and tired of helping out with programs that go nowhere, dealing with people who put little to no effort into things they develop that they "have a heart for", and all the other bureaucratic stuff that goes along with our institutions. I have to (and let me tell you I've tried numerous times to get out of it, even going so far as telling the lady who got it together that I really don't want to do it) go to a lock-in tomorrow night. This thing is under-prepared, ill-prepared, and just down right ridiculous. I'm supposed to, along with my wife, look after a bunch of kids who I have virtually no contact with for 12 hours, staying up all night after getting up at 5am, and making sure that these kids don't do anything stupid. There will be no biblical lessons at any point in the evening unless I get it together. This is just an excuse for kids to get together to play games. These aren't under-privilaged kids who would be out on the street if not for this gathering. No, these are the same kids who don't have time for church or Sunday school because they will get kicked off their sports team if they miss a practice or a game. And heaven forbid their parents grow some nuts and take their children to church instead of a freakin' sporting event. Now, for some reason, they think it's ok to bring their children to a church sponsored "playtime" where they can send their child for the night and not have to worry about entertaining them. Instead, I have to give up my night for something that I want no part in and have stated this to the freakin' lady who's getting this "organized", if one could even call it that. I'm freakin' pissed off. Very pissed off. The last time I got roped into this the lady didn't even call me until the night before to tell me that she was indeed having a lock-in and that there were kids coming. Then, the day of the lock-in, the engine in my truck blew, I got layed off work, and Rosie's grandma died. When I called to tell this freakin' lady I wouldn't be coming, she gave me a sob story and made me feel bad that I didn't want to come. This time around, I told her I didn't want to do it and she made me feel bad yet again that I didn't want to help out. Now I find out she's not even going to be there. She said it's because she has to work the next day. BAH! I need to work the next day as well and I actually need the money!!! So I'm going to stay up all night at a jackass event I want no part of, waste a Friday night and possibly most of the day Saturday, all because I have some stupid, freakin', jackass, prick, hoser connection to a church that's on life-support.
I just want to pull the plug...
