Good afternoon, all! It’s a sunny Sunday here, and I spent a few hours at church this morning. Sometimes I think everyone else is much better at faith than I am because I’m not very sure what the scripture readings or sermon were about. I got caught up in my own thoughts, which might be the real point of church: to allow us moments of reflection in a world where those moments of silence are increasingly difficult to find.
Anyhow, here’s what I was thinking about during the sermon this morning.
- we really new need prayer books.
- Fleabag is an amazing show
- do i have leftovers for lunch?
- i should write a blog post about this!
- wow, this priest is METAL
- i wonder what my bangs look like right now
- ahhhh I’m MOVING to GERMANY
- German church is fun
- what will I get when I go to dm for the first time in 5 years?
- i should eat less dairy
- this service is eternal. like Jesus!
Then the sermon ended and the participatory part started again. Going to church is important to me, but it isn’t always particularly meaningful or fun. Some days you just want it to be over, and that’s okay. Today wasn’t a mindblowing spiritual experience, but the community was still there, which is one of the most important parts.
