TCND: Soccer and Surprise Christian Divorces (Just Like Jesus Christ!)

The Comedian Next Door

Last week, we were jolly and funny. This week: some of us are a little grouchier...and sunburnt...

The Peaches' water bottle went missing at the soccer game. And, what's with the lack of "booing" from the Branyan, McKinney, and Farkas section?!?! Where's the loyalty?!

Not to mention: John's 4-year-old grandson was being veeeeeery virtuous today. He couldn't help noticing himself.

Playing organized sports can help develop a person's character!... but it's not automatic.

Then: Luke was surprised to hear there's (yet another) couple divorcing in our local church body. It's hard coming to terms with the fact that many families (even professing Christians) don't hold each other accountable.

How should we counsel those who are persuing a divorce? What sort of "baggage" should a married couple expect, and how can they manage it?

Later: Why don't people like to communicate? Well, the Ninja and the Peaches had a small falling out this week, and they share a few details. It ended up being a fairly short (and relatively painless) process back to fellowship--thanks to practice. But a few years ago, it would not have gone so smoothly...
