I've needed to expand my social circle. My best pal here who I was dating started also seeing someone else. He forgot to tell me. My classmates mostly gather for beer pong. So I decided to make Joanne proud and try out Officers Christian Fellowship. I arrived at a lovely house filled with sweet children and met the friendly hosts. All good.
Then people started arriving and it took a bad turn. I should have high tailed it out at the first mention of "apologetics," but I had freshly curled my hair for the event to sway any potential friends. I tried not to outwordly cringe but am pretty sure I looked shocked at least when I was asked what my husband did for the Army. And they homeschool. And they hate public schools and evolution and how those dumb 'ol teachers try to make kiddos think they came from apes. And "HA!" how could scientists claim to know anything about evolution when they weren't there to watch it? I think I know of 3 up-close spectators. J.C. in the front row. It was the whole fundy package complete with dogged devotion to dressing really badly (like you're trying to not try). Shake it off and regroup.
