Well, my mom now knows about Chris' journey into the ministry. We had chosen to not tell my family, and my brothers still do not know. Today my mom and I traveled to Hebron because we both had dentist appointments. During our conversation in the car, she mentioned she had bumped into someone at my brother's restaurant who asked her if Chris was studying to become a minister. This person said they heard him preach the Ash Wednesday sermon at our church. She does not remember who it was, though. She has attended functions there with us, so I'm sure some of the congregation do know her even if she doesn't remember their names.
So, I figured this was as good a time as any to tell her. Surprisingly, she reacted better then I thought. She did not make any rude or derogatory comments. She didn't ask too many questions, which was fine by me. I tried to explain the process the best I could...not totally understanding it myself. She did warn me when my brothers find out...they will probably have some rude things to say. But, I expect that from them and asked her to please not tell them yet. With her, it's hard saying if she will do this. My mom is not good at keeping secrets.
So, the cat is out of the bag as far as my mom goes. And it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be!
