Surprised at being shunned

Sandra
by Henry Burt Stevens
3/31/2004


It came as a surprise
trying to do right
living a Christain life
but end up being shunned.


Divorced and raising her
son in Christian school
both in church every
Sunday and Wednesday.


Sixteen years of sitting
with the old hens
while the married couples
kept tightly grouped together


Never was Sandra asked out
for even a cup of coffee
with a single male
eligible parishioner.


Horray for internet and AOL
many interesting Christain men
very willing to buy a lady
flowers and a dining experience


After three pleasant years
the "one" appearied
now married and
very happy together


But Church has taken
an unplanned turn
none of the married couples
will associate in any way


Neither will the group
of single divorced women
it' something about the "sin"
of two divorced people marrying


Are you surprised?
Sandra and Brian are..

Ditto what Ed said. It's not about church or religion. People outside churches treat others much better than this. It's about what's in a person's heart, and apparently the people in this church had empty hearts.

You make some very good points here, Henry. Thank you. Love and peace. Regis

Sadly, I am not surprised at all, Henry. For a society that likes to brag about our high moral standards, we certainly don't seem to have advanced very much in our dealings with our neighbors, or in our compassion for them.
