As an update, I'm still in a depression today. I do have another therapy appointment tomorrow.
Could someone address that new-kid-itis I'm feeling at church? You know, where the new kid comes to school, and the cliques are already formed, the class offices are already elected, and there's no place for the new kid to fit in? Sometimes I have a real problem with those churches, where there director of music just happens to be the pastor's cousin, the pianist is his aunt, the secretary is his wife, his mother runs the nursery, his brothers and sisters are the Sunday School teachers, the children's church leader is his brother-in-law, and all of his other relatives rotate doing the special music every week. If you're not related to the pastor you just jolly well sit in the pew and do nothing. You're good for putting money in the collection plate, but that's about it. I don't know if this is one of those churches or not. I know it's the same handful of people doing everything, but I don't think they're related to the pastor.
Does anyone else ever feel this way?
