Wondering if anyone else deals with parents that still ask questions about your "spiritual life." When I quick called mom from work today, she still managed to find out if i'd gone to church or not, and said that was what she was most worried about. I gently reminded her that she was welcome to just be a mother, that she didn't have to be a pastor to me, so she moved on to my daughter, does she have any Christian friends at work? Why do I feel violated? It makes me not even want to spend time with them . . .and of course my answers will be discussed and "prayed over" with my dad . . .ugh. 41 and feeling like 14. When do I get to evaluate them? It must be nice to be so above reproach, and to only have jobs where you go to church all the time and feel good about it . . .and then pray for those who aren't at your level.
