Back porch Heaven
Getting Russ on our back porch has to create a critical contextual moment. Have him sit on our Family Room couch with the TV on, and then ask him to feel the bass, hear the DJ’s voice and the DJ’s music. Doors and windows closed. Two streets over.
How will he process that “mentally-simulated” event?
How would any reasonable adult?

What happened at Church?
What happened at Church?
Didn’t bring up yesterday’s wedding reception’s obscene noise volume.
Chuck rushes – literally rushes out to parking lot – to drive to deliver his third sermon of the day. He does this every Sunday. Without fail.
Didn’t speak with Russ either.
Will likely send email asking the question: What have you instructed your events team to do with regard to noise levels?
Will email Russ a request to meet in person. It will be appropriate after meeting with Russ to update Chuck on the February 19 wedding reception and subsequent talk with Russ.

Special addition to this post: Weeks have passed since writing everything you just read. Now, weeks later, here is where it stands…
Note/update: As the weeks passed by from writing this post, decided to not address the outdoor wedding reception’s heinous noise pollution. Fast forward, met with Russ, made the offer to provide (free) professional development to him and his leadership team. He is receptive and interested. Turns out he is a Disney fan. And a runner. As we walked out of his conference room, he asked about the noise. i described it honestly. And told him i surrender to him and his team doing the right thing. i can no longer be emotionally engaged in worrying if the Church will do what i think is the neighborly thing to do.

Disrespectful Religions?
Everyone feels the stress from two years of Covid. It’s February 20, 2022 as this is composed. We are possibly days away from “a Third World War” if Russia invades Ukraine. i always say that everyone is going through a hell no one knows about.
Those three things alone are enough to push anyone to the edge.
Life is hard.
Life is glorious.
We have to get to live with both.
Those who consider themselves a role-model for others – and possibly THE role model for society – are never permitted to be disrespectful to innocent, common, everyday citizens.
Yet why does so much noise come from some Churches?
Not having a proper answer is confusing.

Maximum dB is 60
Pastor Chuck already knew i have called the police to ask the Church to turn down their noise.
Three obnoxious residential noise culprits:
- Live music and DJ music
- Public Address speakers
- Airhorns
Never brought up children being children, but Chuck did several times.
