I love Sundays...
This is my second favorite day of the week. I feel good on Sundays. I like going to church. I wish I hadn't avoided it and been an evil person up till now. It's fun. I like going and hearing the scripture read, and then hearing the pastor talk about it and teach me a lesson. I also like talking to God, and telling Him how very cool he is. He rocks! I get so much life planning done in there. Now if only I can just get myself to follow through, which seems to be my problem. Plus, TJ is getting more and more used to going there, and he has more fun every week. Today he even said "Bye-bye" to the nursery worker as I came to get him (which is a big deal, b/c he usually won't say bye till ten minutes later!). Usually he's fine until I get there, then he gets mad when I come so I know he's not cool with me leaving him. Today, though, he saw me and was like, "Oh, hey," and just waited till I could get him. It was cool! He even said, "Bye-bye church play." Okay, so he only sees church as playtime right now, but that's fine. That's what it is to him. I can't wait till he's older so he can do all the fun stuff the older kids do.

There have been many people asking me to join the choir. I know I am a terrible singer, I think, but I think it would be fun. I know it's just b/c they want more people, but I thought to myself as I was asked again today, "Maybe they've heard me singing and think I'm good. Maybe I should give it a try." So I sang louder today. I think I'll pass, though, b/c I'm not good with that sort of thing, and I'd be self-conscious the whole time. Lord knows the choir member that took the day off and sat behind me wasn't self-conscious, though! He sang so loud! I do want to do something with the church, though. Oh, and I didn't see Ruth today. It made me kinda sad. I wonder where she was?

OH! I told the pastor that I would like to join the church on November 14th. I didn't get to talk to him about it yet (he was just a little busy!), but if he's cool with it, then that will be the day that TJ gets baptized. I want everyone who can come to be there, so be looking out for your invite, and if you can, try to set that day aside.

Lastly, I decided at church today that I'm not going to be mad at people anymore. I don't know what their circumstances are, so I will not judge them. I won't necessarily like what they do, but it's their lives. Even when their decisions affect me, I will just try to keep a positive attitude and make it work for myself. This is a lofty goal, and one I'm sure will take a while to master, but I am really going to try. We learned about the rich man and Lazarus, and I'm not sure how, but this is what I learned from it....Oh, and not to hoard my wealth (which I have none of!).

Question, what is your favorite day of the week, and why?

    I'm so glad you're enjoying your church and getting a lot out of it. As an ex-atheist, I get a lot of inner strength and purpose from God. I would LOVE to come see TJ get baptized. Does Trey go too?
