Mother's Day was exactly how I pictured it would be. My Mother wanted me to come up to Vernon so I could go to church with the family this morning. I don't really understand why this is a big deal for her other than it could be some whacked out pride thing she's got going on. It's sort of as if she's showing off to the rest of the church that her whole family is there with her and isn't she special. She knows I despise going to her church so I'm pretty sure that she makes such a big deal out of me going there because she gets something out of it that I don't get. Anyways after that we went home, had lunch stared at each other, sister and I watched TV, Mom had a nap, Dad disappeared, I thought about how I had turned down a shift at work for this, we had supper, we argued about the Government's Paternity Leave laws, I left. I'm home now and have seen quite enough of my Mother for a good long time. Not that I don't love her.

Last night I was told about a situation in a church I am associated with that I can only classify as sexual abuse. The situation involves two youth leaders and a 16 year old. There is a major problem for me though as I cannot betray the trust of the person who told me about the situation, and I would rather not reveal where I attained the information from. On the other hand I am worried about the destruction, that is highly likely to happen, in the lives of those involved. Terrible situation.

Went for coffee with a new acquaintance last night. I just recently met this guy and he has been very helpful in helping me to understand myself a little better. Our conversation was very informative. I am seriously considering making a few changes in my life that won't make me all that popular in certain religious circles most importantly mine. Lately though as you may know I haven't been all that concerned about religious circles. Must find what's right for me.
