I am very baffled at what P.E's request...
A. called me today and told me that J. received a message from P.E. She has requested to run a slideshow of some sort during service this Sunday service about her stay in S.A. She hopes to run in this Sunday cos it's Children's Day. I asked A. a few times to confirm it... Did she request to have that run during service.. A. says yes, it was a last minute request from P.E. to have that this Sunday.
For a while, I was really really surprised... Why have to run her studies story during service on Children's Day? What message is she trying to send?
At the back of my mind, I have a very troubled thought. We are celebrating Children's Day this Sunday, it's a day to remember the children in our midst. It is not a day to celebrate HER.
Or maybe she want to spur the children to remember her, cos maybe she is studying and also having exams like them.
But still, I find it really disturbing... Why does she want to have attention on her, specifically on Children's Day? Why can't it be any other day?! And such a last minute notice. For a while I thought she wants to send a video of herself and run it during service, then A. told me it's pictures of S.A. and maybe some info and stuffs. It'd be scary to think that P.E. will speak from video during worship service... It's like she is the Almighty....
I also thought, how come J. and A. actually accede to her request? Didn't they give her their opinions, or are they also led along by her?
Moreover, she will be back in November... is there a necessity to show what is she doing during these past months? OR is she worried that she will be forgotten?
In any case, my alarm start ringing when I hear about the request. I seriously think that it's a bit over-done to show what she is doing at where she is doing, during such an event. Of all occasions.
I think I better write to her to tell her that we probably could do it another Sunday, if she is asking for prayer. If she is not happy at my arrangement...
then something is definitely wrong...
