Good morning friends,
Inasmuch as tomorrow is another day for pagan idols, Rufus will stay home. I started to write and ask if there is anything planned, but decided that it would be better to just keep Rufus home, lest we get to the end of tomorrow only to find out that in some corner of the school’s world, there was some rebel waiting to slip their idols into the program unawares. PE is what comes to mind, or any other thing. An assembly that we don’t know is coming or on and on, the list is endless of the ways that we find now happens in a place that is determined to get a GodSmack that they won’t survive.
I saw the path that the “State of the City” fiasco took. Right in front of my eyes! When Rufus’s aunt, sitting in a PTO meeting called me and asked; and relayed, what she had been told, that caused us to decide that it would be fine. What we were not told was the truth about what would happen in that assembly.
THEN, Rufus’s other aunt tried to get some understanding of why we were left in that spot and she drew back a hostile and self-justifying email from the head of the school. I don’t know where you go from there. In the past, at least we were told that it was a mistake and that this would not happen again, but not that time. The reply that she received, left me with an understanding that the principal is tired of this discussion, and so now, we will be left to our own devices to try and navigate through and avoid the pit falls that are placed before us.
That rips a huge hole in the trust between us. So instead of being left to explain to Rufus why we were not able to avoid idols, I will just keep him home.
Thank you!
Micah 7:1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
