Things That Bother Me

As I sit here typing 18 days before my 53rd birthday I realize some things bother me.

1. People who cut into line at amusement parks
2. People who wont  turn right on a red light when it is safe to do so.
3. Justin Bieber (not really sure why, he just does)
4. People that think the world owes them something.
5. Decisions made in our denomination for political reasons

There are more things that bother me but the last on the list is the one that is clouding my mind today. In economic times like this you would expect decisions would be made to help keep expenses down.  However people seem to want there agenda to be implemented no matter what the cost to others. This is wrong no matter who you are, a lay person, pastor, district superintendent or general superintendent. 

 It bothers me because I don't sense Christ in the decisions being made, I can only feel agenda and that bothers me most of all. I am bothered because they either know they are going to retire soon and don't care or they want to position themselves to climb the denominational ladder of success. I am pretty sure Christ is also bothered by this as well. Of course me being bothered doesn't matter to them, they don't seem to care and that is the saddest part of all and the most bothersome.
