Dedication

We attended my grandson's "Dedication" at their church yesterday. My daughter was beaming. I'm not a religious person, but I was happy to attend and support her. What I wasn't as happy about was the message. The service was about family but was heavily weighted toward protecting one's immediate family against "the world". Also, he said things like "limp-wristed" and "...at least they know which bathroom to go in." It was gross and disappointing. The only reference to being kind to or helping others was if it was in service of the church. I was saddened that my grandson will be subjected to such selfish and backwards attitudes on a weekly basis. I'll have to be sure and spend a lot of time with him, deprogramming.
