Cold cold cold. Snowy cold cold and snowy.

Bleh.

Had dinner with my guy last night. We had a good evening. i've done a bit of laundry today, and slept. Ate some vegetables for dinner, have been a slug.

Am going to mom's church tomorrow morning, then to mother's house for the annual blessed Easter ham. I wonder what sort of theology I'll come up with sitting through Pastor Seth's sermon this year. I have to admit with some humor that I've come up withsome doozies in the last couple years.  Look, I love God. I love the idea, I love the presence I feel, I love being loved.  (when I feel it, which isn't always you know) But I don't love church so much any more.  I did once.  I had friends there, it was the highlight of my social life during my pregnancy and after Scarlett was born.  But things got stressed at that church, I felt uncomfortable and left, then my parents left.  I've not really found another church since we moved to Charleston, but I haven't looked, because I don't want to. I LIKE LOVE my Sundays. I don't think God keeps a church-attendance score.  I actually had a man write me a note in a Bible class that said exactly that - God doesn't keep track of how many times you go to church - and I was overwhelmed with the simplicity of the truth. Trouble is, my mom does. Now that I'm past 40, I'm learning to let that go. 

Thus I've had a quiet weekend. my hair's a mess, and I'm headed into PMS, cause I've got the fucking munchies. I need hot fudge. lol

I'm not interested in attending church either, but I can tell you that a lot of people who don't like church do enjoy the services at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. It's on Kanawha Boulevard on the West Side. It's the kind of place that offers yoga classes during the week and lends space to visiting Tibetan monks when they are in town giving talks. I went there in high school voluntarily.

I've been there for writing workshops, and a book sale. It's very nice, and the people are as well.

God knows what is in your heart and is not the Church Attendance Officer.

Your "doozies" seem pretty darn sane to me. Hope your having a good Easter.

Thanks! I appreciate the vote of confidence. I did indeed have a good Easter.
