Mel: (screaming) Why does it have to be so hard?

I would love for someone to answer one simple question for me. Why is it that "christian relationships" are so hard? I mean working in ministry at church is one of the hardest things you can do as a person. I mean really. Why can't people just fully listen to others, and speak truthfully and openly about their thoughts, desires, concerns etc. Maybe it is me. Maybe I am just a jackass and I am hard to work with. If that is the case someone please tell me. I am just so very frustrated with "communication" in the midst of ministry. It would be much easier to not give a rip and walk away. I really do wish I could do that. I just don't know how. I just feel like you take a bunch of adults and put them in a church, tell them to do ministry together and they turn into a Jr. high school lunch room. Why does everything have to be so hard and take so long. Why can't I just walk away, can I just walk away, please.
