My husband and my children are the reason I am attending. Otherwise...
But I cannot be completely unfair...I don't agree with much of the method and sometimes the message but of course it's not all bad.

Amen and Amen - it's taken me way too long to figure this out.

I don't mean to be critical of the group as a whole and leave the impression that it is just a big screwed up mess. I just have a few things that I find
beyond frustrating - primarily the complete lack of discipleship among other things.
However to be completely honest - if my husband were to say "let's go" then I would have no problems doing so.
