I get frustrated with the various religious institutions in this part of the world because they seem like they are mostly about showmanship: beautiful families dressing their kids in matching, clothes (a post in and of itself) and showing them off every Sunday. They support vacation Bible school, anti-abortion activities, and other events that promote very conservative values. It often seems like these churches lack charity, understanding, and acceptance of those who don't fit the mold.
But today I saw something a little different. One of the biggest (and probably richest) Baptist churches in town was offering free oil changes and car washes to single mothers only! Very commendable.

Just my thoughts on life, motherhood, work and family, current events and probably a bunch of other stuff.

It constantly amazes me that the people who annoy me the most, can still warm my heart. I know churches aren't bad, but I'm still pissed at them for Prop 8.
