gratitude walks

so i've been wondering, the past week or so, how to approach this stuff, this life, and all i come away with is to just tell it. i've read a lot of non-fiction the past couple months and i suppose it's left me with a more concrete way of viewing the world and what surrounds me. it's always been black and white, with just a few shades of grey

The basic faith structure is fundamentally flawed, and the flaw (indirectly) has to do with the hypocrisy that you mentioned. However, it is more about the "there is only ONE WAY". No man comes to the Father except through me, right? Well, replace "me" with "us", and you see the downfall of the church. The hypocrisy that you see may be psychic residue of that belief reflected into the behavior of the "Elect".

Rest assured that my own mother (as you well know) went through the same thing with me and my first wife - she has a good chance of snapping out of it eventually. Just pray that it is in time. I had the chance to visit Kritin and Darin the last time I was out there, and she seems to be getting along pretty well. Darin is a good man, and I think she draws a lot of strength from him.

Of course, I think your mom is a wack-job, and she may be just far enough around the bend not to be able to get back, but I doubt it.
