I might just write this to get it out of my system and never post it. We’ll see.
I received what I consider the worst Christmas card of this year. Let me tell you why. First of all, it was addressed to A. Bell. Like junk mail, like from someone who doesn’t know me. Exactly.
On the back of the envelope is a handwritten line – from (insert name of church here).
So I’m thinking, it must be from my church. Sent out by someone I don’t know, but it must be a card from the church in general.
I open it to find a shutterfly, picture-perfect card of a family I’ve never met. I flip it over. More pictures, including the dog. No handwritten message. No signature. No Biblical message or scripture verse. Just a printed script about a trip they took and how 2020 was a different year with unexpected changes.
Yes, it was.
I search around and find this was from an elder in the church.
I leave you with your own thoughts.
Not In This Soup Alone 
That is outrageously offensive. I cannot comprehend how anyone would think that is acceptable, especially from someone in the church.
