not in church either...

I should've started the post with this last week - I had skipped out on chapel and was feeling guilty myself about not being there. It was a simple sound issue - the sound was harsh and so I left.

All things being equal the chapel was not designed for modern instruments, but this week it was MUCH better. :) Perhaps it was due to them tweaking the sound a little, maybe it was the songs they chose, maybe it was the different spot I chose to sit.

Sooooo....I only asked because I have been there. At the cottage we didn't always go to church, but my motivations have also changed. I used to go to church because I thought I HAD to be there. Now I go because I want to praise and worship God with his family!

Any thoughts or comments?

not in church

I must begin with my apologies to the person who took this shot - I forgot to find the source. If you find it (or own it and want it removed) please let me know.


So how do you feel about skipping church - or just not going at all? This isn't a guilt trip - this is a real question and it's open to anyone whether you grew up in church, go most Sundays, or have never been. But since I brought up the concept of guilt - does it make you feel guilty?

I am going to ask one other question too: why don't you go? Is it the music, the people, or something you just can't quite put your finger on. I must admit that there sometimes seems a world of difference between church life and the rest of our life. So tell me - what do you think?

Oh, and one more question if you don't mind. Do you think Christianity may have anything to add to your life if church was different - would you be more interested? (ok so I cheated and made that 2 questions...) Looking forward to hearing from you!
