Gen. 34

Of all the messages to teach on tonight, Genesis 34 was the topic. I was feeling so much better and then I go to church and have to listen to the pastor talk about a rape. Seriously? I'm sitting there in church (this wasn't even my home church it's just a church I visit some Sunday evenings since my own church doesn't have evening service) and I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes. Of course I had my hair all pulled up to so I couldn't hide it as easily. I'm trying to stay focused and all these images are flashing through my mind. If I was in my own church I would have excused myself. But at this church I am a guest. This church is also much more conservative and I would feel very selfconscience about walking out with tears in my eyes. I won't let this sidetrack me though.
