After a lengthy interruption of attending church, my husband
and I have begun again.
I did feel
guilty, but not any less spiritual or ethical in my daily life. Call me a church snob- but I didn’t “get” the
sermons while we were church hopping.
Was it entertainment or education?
Was there a message that related to me?
Was I supposed to feel good or chastened into service?
I grew up in an era of white gloves, church clothes and best
manners. The facts: that getting to church was an ordeal and that the church service and Coffee "Hour" seemed to take the whole day. (Not really, but then Sunday dinner was
usually scheduled around 2 or 3 pm, and then all of a sudden it was time for
“The Ed Sullivan Show” and bedtime.)
No wonder that by the time I was a
teenager, my parents and I were exhausted from the effort.
What turned things around?
For me, it was finding a blend that met my personal definition of
church, and moved me along the path of re-gaining my spirituality.
Are you searching for
something? Come along with me on my
journey of discovery. And, comment
whenever you have the urge.
I welcome dialogue.
