The church ladies are tough to take sometimes. I volunteer at our town food pantry- I sort food and put it away when I have extra time. Usually it is a great chance to be mindful and helpful at the same time. A solitary job. Last month two ladies came to sort. They have been doing it longer than I have and have very strong ideas about the "right" way to do EVERYTHING. One lady kept complaining about the way previous people had sorted and muttering "Christ" under her breath every ten minutes. I had to leave, I was getting seriously annoyed at her bad attitude. Plus, I couldn't be peaceful and mindful anymore. Now when I think about it, it makes me laugh. People really need to be reminded about why they are Christians. Guess that's one of your big jobs, eh? Friends of mine that are ministers feel rather desperate some days because of miserable people like the woman I mention. You good people have to deal with them all the time, I know. My mother in law would claim it means less time in purgatory!
