Walking McKinney’s Red, White & Boom parade w/McKinney Democrats & other like-minded people was a great way to remind myself not to give up despite what Congress did yesterday. So many people cheered as we walked by that I was once again encouraged not to give up. Happy 4th! #FightTheGoodFight

Responses to my vickiswritingnook.blogspot.com/2025/03/when... entry made it clear that so many people have experienced church trauma. I’m now considering a When It All Falls Apart Blog Series If you'd like to know more, message me or leave a comment and your email on my blog so I can contact you.

I know what it’s like when it all falls apart.

So, a lot has changed in my life. I have many stories to tell - maybe on another day. But, I know what it’s like to be hurt by the church...by the people you trust.

Yes, I was raised in church, but in my mid-twenties, I left.
My home church went from being a second home to being a place that no longer seemed safe. It went from being a place which I thought taught the truth to being a place which I felt had lied to me.

Until it wasn’t.
When I was 15, my family started attending a charismatic church which had a focus on *prosperity theology. It was definitely a different type of church (when people started dancing in the service, it scared me), but everybody was very nice.

When It All Falls Apart…
I used to love going to church! My parents tell me that my brother and I were christened Methodist, but the first church that I remember was First Baptist Church in Arlington, and when we moved to Brownwood, so did our church membership.
