Which Reminds Me

I never had the slightest connection to Rhode Island, so why all this commotion? I vaguely recall that Mrs. Sanchez was originally from somewhere in New England but we weren't paying attention to that. Sometimes these people think they are really big chiefs when they are a country doctor living in a tiny little country, and then they come to the big U.S. imagining that they are going to hang on to that lofty social status here as if nothing had changed, as if they were still big fish in a little pond, when actually the reverse is true now and the rest of us have moved on and forgotten about them. Here in the U.S. they are nothing special, their opinions of us holding no significance that we should be bothered by them. I would prefer to graciously avoid having to insult my former friends and classmates, but all this chattering forces me to recall their emotional and family problems that we would graciously overlook, rather than to remark on the abysmal quality of the snarky products of the Baptist Bells and Reeces, almost not to be distinguished from the average Catholic on the street. So what are they bragging about? What place have they to for the working of the Holy Spirt, so anxiously are they involved in the strife of carnality? One thing is true, the socially ambitious "rich" Baptists would probably never darken the door of a Pentecostal church, and some of those social ambitions have crept into the Pentecostal churches as well and changed them also. So times have changed. Even so. So? I cannot be expected to keep track of all these people. Only God can do that.
