Sunday

Sundays are usually pretty lazy in the morning. Church starts at 9:30am, but I must confess that I am not usually there. I am not thrilled with our minister. She has been here 4 years now and I am almost completely out of the habit of going to church.

Don't get me wrong. She is a nice lady, but we don't click for some reason. Although she is striving for growth, which in long run I believe will be a good thing. The feeling of the church has changed.

What I mean by that is that when you walk in now it is all about the money and how much you have given to the building fund. That is all that is ever talked about. How are we going to raise a dollar for the new building.

It used to be that all we talked about in meetings was how we were going to help someone. Who in the community needed a boost that we could get behind and help. That is what I believe a church should do. It should provide fellowship for Christians and reach out to help the community which will in turn bring people to Christ.

So I am torn. I think about what I should do because I need to be in church with a church family and my kids need to be in a church, but I don't feel comfortable there at times. I know that we are United Methodist and this minister will be moved as soon as she completes her agenda, the new building. So, I don't want to leave the church I grew up in for another in the community, but I think I will go visiting and see what else is out there.

I don't know these kids, but I found them through some blogs I was following.
I am always thankful that so far my kids have been pretty healthy. In the back of my mind as I read about these kids is always the saying "There but for the Grace of God goes I."

Please Take a look at their stories and pray for these two cute little boys!!! and their parents.
