This morning I attended G.F. church for a 10:30am service. The church is 14 miles away and took me 20 minutes to get there. I had time to do a little reflecting on the video I posted this morning. The church was a bit larger (in size & in numbers) than I expected. While sitting and glancing over the bulletin I took a gander at the mix of people-since that is one of the aspects I am looking at (my last church was a church that was primarily older couples in their late 50′s and up). I was happy to see quite a mix of ages, and demographics. Some people where there in their Sunday best and others rode in on a Harley wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I filled out the card to let them know it was my first time and that I was interested in a woman’s group and/or Bible Study (in the evenings). The worship time was nearly an hour—yes that is correct and hour. That included communion, that is only once a month. I was very happy that I knew all but one song during worship. A total of 7 songs!! It was really nice! The sermon was in reference to 1 Peter 1:6-12. The pastor was ok. I have to be honest, but at times his voice became extremely loud and very preachy-pun intended. I was in my car by 12:15pm (nearly two hours…) I would like to give it another try. I would like to see what kind of study groups they have. Overall, it was nice. I am going to try G.S. next weekend.
My next topic was going to be online dating…I just want to say—is there a normal guy out there? No, I don’t want to move to Oregon and be the only one that has the ability to drive; no I don’t want to talk about our “future” when I just “met” you. I just want to meet a great Christian guy have a normal courtship, and go from there. Ok.. nuff said on that subject!
I am getting excited about getting my knitting needles out and playing with some yarn! I just bought some new knitting magazines and there are some simple patterns that I can do. One of them is just so adorable, and I am going to consult a knitting guru at work. See if she can’t get me started! One of the main reasons I am going to start working on a bunch of projects is because I am going to put them on etsy.com and raise money for next year’s 3-Day walk!
So I mentioned in my post this morning that I did not sleep well last night. I had a weird dream last night…. *cue dreamy sequence music* I was frantically trying to make my wedding dress fit–yeah that is rig
ht, I could even describe it to you but I will spare you. I had somehow lost quite a bit of weight, and I could not get my dress re-fitted the day before my wedding. All the while I realized that I had not received one reply from the invitations which made me believe that no one received an invite. And… I had realized I never talked to my matron of honor about her dress. The dream lasted most of the night, and kept going on and on like this. Funny thing is…I never saw my husband. I know this all may be personal, but I had to share with you the odity of my dreams. Oh by the way… this is one of a few dreams I have remembered in about 6 months.
Well, I realized I may have overloaded your eyes, but thanks for stopping by!
