221: church stuff

church was soooooo good yesterday y'all.

we had lots of music, lots of laughter, lots of love. i had a few good cries too.

i hope i'm not boring y'all with this church stuff cuz i'm not a church lady.

it's just that this is so new for me, being into church like this. i haven't belonged to a "religious" organization since before baby bliss was born.

my life's journey has taken me to many places and some of them have felt real home-y. that's how our church feels to me and i'll stay as long as it feels right.

it's comfortable. embracing. warm. (and not just cuz the air conditioning could be a little cooler.) enlightening. fun. uplifting.

i like to take notes in church, like i do most places in real life. in addition to being wonderful facilitators, our ministers are both very funny and entertaining. a few sundays ago, i realized them gals turn a phrase so purty that some of what they say would make interesting dialogue for my fictional characters. some would make good epigraphs for chapters too.

that's a good thing right? '-)

Church stuff is welcome in my eyes. Our church just turned 1 and we were excited like little kids. After a rocky transition, we've found someplace to call home. I recently told the first lady how inspired I was by how she carries herself, and she laughed - as she told me each morning she closes her office door and prays to God (like the rest of us) to hold it all together. Glad you are enjoying it.
