Christmas Church
I haven't been to a 'proper' church service for a long time now. My children have decided that we're going to church on Christmas day. A friend commented last night that I'll be able to see it from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't go to church, and I certainly will.
So what do I find scary? (I actually do!)
So what do I find scary? (I actually do!)
- Parking and people watching me walking to the building.
- Crossing the 'threshold'.
- People saying they haven't seen me for a long time with the implication that I should have inhabited their space.
- Not being able to find a seat for us to be together.
- Being expected to 'do' things.
- Communal singing.
- Being ignored.
- Not being able to comment.

Look forward to? I suppose there are always those who genuinely reflect a Christ-like attitude when you meet them. I look forward to one experience like that. One will do. The process, the 'service' holds no attraction for me whatsoever. I would genuinely like to be surprised, and maybe secretly hold a faint hope that I will be.
