IN: But yeah , ice skating = pretty . We also saw some cool outdoors acrobatics and diving . So the trip was still fun , I got to spend time with my parents , and we did n't end up wasting our money . But , but 4 pm , I was done with dealing with people bumping into me , screaming , laughing at the top of their lungs , and being generally rude .
What may be the reason for the trip ?

OUT: To spend time together as a family .

IN: Slowly add the flour mixture , a little at a time , until well blended . Place the granulated sugar in a bowl . Measure out 2 tsp dough and roll into a ball . Roll the ball in the granulated sugar and place on the cookie sheet . Repeat , placing balls 3 inches apart . Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown , about 12 minutes . Repeat with remaining cookie dough until it is all used up .
Why are they making cookies ?

OUT: They will be having company over .

IN: They would ask me what church ... at which point I would pull out a red Compass Point invite card and tell them about us . Sometimes in the conversations I would get to hear them say those familiar words ... " but church sucks " . I would see the pain ... the disgust ... the lack of trust ... in their eyes . I 'd explain that we were different ... anyone ... with any background ... that dressed or looked anyway ... could come to Compass Point .
Why is it I would see the pain ... the disgust ... the lack of trust ... in their eyes ?

OUT:
Churches often are conducted in despicable ways and steal from people .
