Holidays and Navel Gazers

 Holidays are so hard on me.  Being alone is one thing, but holidays rub your face in it. Folks don't have time for anyone but their immediate concerns and themselves.  Mostly themselves.  I find folks are incredibly selfish in this day and age.

The start of this long weekend is sad for me.  I just get up, pee, eat and clean up.  I tend inside and out and often wonder why.  I guess I do it because that's what I'm supposed to do.  After that, then what?  More alone time. No mail, no meals on wheels delivery, no book club.  Just marking time until folks come back to their normal routine.

I never expect average folks to  be concerned with folks who are so alone.  But, church folks that believe in the Christian way of life, I expect more.  They promise more.  But, that's it.  Empty promises.

I've lost my umpteenth attempt at finding a church family.  This recent one really had promise.  Then I heard the sermon about being alone and how we cannot be alone and we have to get out and those folks who are just 'navel gazers' are wrong.  It went on and I was never so insulted.  Folks who are alone, generally didn't plan it that way.  Let's just say, too many Christians are phony baloney for me.  I love God and he and I will just have to go it alone, together.  :D

So, if you know someone who is alone, don't assume they are OK and could get out if they really wanted to.  But folks, like this church, don't think beyond their noses and their own concerns.  One day, they will have to live their faith.  Then we'll see just how far that faith goes.
