It had been an exciting (for me) morning helping my neighbor's mom walk her daughter's two dogs. I found it a handful when the dog would either want to stop and sniff of pull me faster. We had a good visit and a few laughs on our way.
Sometimes I wish our church was a little less cerebral and old fashioned as I think about the younger people who may want something more lively. I appreciate the warmth of the friendships and the richness of the theological reflection and the time and effort put into things like prayer and reaching out to our community.
Christianity is a connection of the mind and the heart and the hands that care for others; questions are encouraged, where my moments of doubt are a part of my faith, where I can explore a variety of answers and still in all of this experience the presence of Goodness!
I am thankful for my Sunday morning worship time where I focus on what it means to be a Christian in a world where upsetting things (much bigger than mine can happen) can happen. Never take for granted the good things that give our lives meaning.

Maybe you should look at other options, wallets on chains like Christopher has. Or is that keys? And not have a lot of cash or your idi in your running to safeway wallet. Maybe even a pocket with $20 would be best?

I agree, our minister has privately told me that she would like a coffee house setting where we can all share in worship. We have a study group who meet before the service, where we discuss the faith page of our newspaper. It is often more fulfilling than the formal church service. Our last service was held by a retired minister who used the " old book of common prayer " and it was surprising to see how outdated it was.
