No church


I believe it has been three weeks since I have attended a Sunday worship gathering. And I don't much care for it. However, at the same time, I don't feel at all connected to a particular church community at the present, so.... I dunno.

For the record, one week I was unable to walk - with the gout. The next week I was not feeling well (okay, I was hungover). Last week I was driving back from my parent's house. So, really only the week I stayed home with a hangover was deliberate (I could have went, but chose not to).

It becomes pretty easy to get out of the routine pretty quickly. In all honesty, I could probably just be done with the whole thing right now. I don't want to be, but there isn't much pull other than my own desire to make this a part of my weekly rhythm.

So... I could probably comment on the "freeing" aspect of not being tied down on Sunday mornings. I could also probably comment on what I seem to be missing at the moment (either not going, or going where it feels awkward). In the end, I think I will just leave it as is: I have missed three Sundays gatherings in a row... and I'm not sure how long it's been since I've done that. Also, it feels as strangely "okay" as it does "odd."

I guess we chalk it up to... it is what it is. I'm not sure what will happen this Sunday...

You know very well what I think about participation in institutional Christianity.

And, I'd say my walk is stronger without it...

...but, I, WE, work hard at having connections with Jesus-followers, and with Jesus, apart from involvement in the organized church.

Please don't lose your connection to Jesus. It can happen.
