WHAT A DESTRUCTIVE COMBINATION

I hope I am wrong in what I am about to say but I really wonder.

This combination of a "culture stripped of grace" and a culture so trapped in perfomance that demands that we as individuals, and then in regards to our families, that they be nothing short of "braggable," creates I think a rather destructive cocktail.

I think the dysfunction and abuse goes much deeper than is even seen on the surface. But when punishment and judgement is all that awaits those who bring these damaging behaviors to the light...they more often than not just remain in the dark and the "braggable" facade is what is presented...and the pain and hurt continues.

Father we need some help out of this mess.

Say a prayer for Rebecca today....and tomorrow.

You are so right about that, I'm praying for Rebecca. If you wouldn't mind pray for Meganne, the performance pressures in her family nearly proved to be too much and my wife took her to the hospital 2 nights ago. I'm praying that Papa will help her thow off that bondange and that she will see how much she is loved.

I will be praying for Meganne. I just heard from Paul and he was able to connect with Rebecca and connect her with someone to help her.
