NOT EQUIVALENT

A Bible teacher here in Houston that I appreciate when I have been able to hear her- Mary Jean Pigeon- was once talking in passing about a woman who seemed superficially to be doing all the right Christian things, but had gotten into a very rough place in her life that seemed to come out of the blue.
Sister Pigeon said in the course of her teaching ( tho' she did not say this to the people involved in the discussion of this woman's troubles) that she COULD see where this woman had fallen down on the job in some way that led in part to these troubles (Sis' Pigeon did not elaborate.)
I could understand that.
What I mean by the title of this blog is that two different women going to church, with approximately the same observeable level of involvement, and approximately the same type of cordial interaction with fellow churchgoers could have radically different whole-life styles which could bring forth very different futures, including their children's attitudes toward the established christian church and the standards that christians agree are important.
My reasons for putting this post out are not theoretical.
That's all I have to say for now.
