Even if there weren't so many terribly misbehaving children who haven't been taught to shut up for one hour, I wouldn't have been able to hear the preacher's low-volume microphone anyway. He was talking, I could tell that much. But what he was saying was anyone's guess. If there had been a clock on the wall, I could have heard it ticking better than anything that was supposed to be relevant.
I was merely 16 years old when I went to church in the middle of nowhere with one of my aunts. I had never been super religious, even though I had read the bible several times. I always questioned religion, and even at a young age had asked some questions that even seemed to make church officials think. At this point in my life, my home life really, really sucked.
Breaking News- Obama resigns his church membership!
IS THIS TOO LATE? IS HE FLIP FLOPPING ON CHURCH MEMBERSHIP?
Are the Democrats putting another flip flopper up for the Presidency?
Lately, I have missed someone everyday these past two weeks. And let me tell you it hurts so much. When i had to leave one day i got so mad i didn't even say goodbye. I got my stuff out of their car and left. I was so furious!
At church today, I had an interesting experience. Since I make and run the powerpoint for our contemporary service, I was nervous from the start. Pastor Hayden, the man in charge and the only one who ever knows what's going on, was on vacation. We had a guest speaker, Reverend Caroline, from another church.
Praying in a Vacuum: Oil for Sinning
If we are a “Christian nation”
Lifeblood in Persian Gulf soil
Should not the population
Be warned that Heaven runs on oil?
From the ground gargles up an answer
Of liquid gold and mud
It pumps and it courses
And through pipelines it does trudge
The steady marching rhythm
Of our misguided grudge
We’ve come uninvited
Today. Sunday. The day of the Lord. The Sabbath.
I can't believe I actually went to church today. On the way there, I was even thinking "What the hell am I doing?" I've never been a Godly type of gal, I guess. I mean, I believe in God, I pray every night before I go to bed, but I'm just not into the whole Let's-All-Go-Worship! thing.
