As stated earlier, I was in Idaho all weekend. It was an odd mixture of experiences rolled into one. We were visiting J’s mom & dad and brother and his wife. (My in-laws basically…) It was an odd mix of things. Idaho is nice, but it gets cold fast and the rain hurts after a while.
At first glance it seems like a great place to relocate to, but the novelty wears off (at least for me) and you begin to miss the hustle & bustle of the big city.
I lived in Suburbia once and it was horrible. I hate suburbia, so why do I sometimes consider living there? I don’t know why. I assume parents think that it is better for them to raise a family in the suburbs than it is in the big city. However, I was raised in big cities and I turned out well. I believe that I was trained a certain way in some respects and now I am reaping the hard sewn seeds of my mom & dad….more so my Mom than dad.
The family was doing well, and we are expecting a little one to add to the family. (no, not immediately, my brother in law and hi wife are expecting)
The Mariners won 2 in a row and are doing quite well.
We went to church. I had high hopes, because I am missing church. The church we went to was extremely one sided in my view. While there is great knowledge in the way that it was presented, it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I am not a big John Calvin fan in some regards, and I also am not one to argue to the gospels. I also hate ritualistic things like standing, hymns, sitting, repeating, and dishwasher like services with no real “spirit” to them, but more of a incense burning middle ages fundamental leanings. It is just not me. The body of the church has many parts, and this church that we went to can be best described as the head. Heavy in knowledge, but lacking the heart that I seem to identify with more. That is not to say that the church is bad, it is just not aimed for me & my calling in the work of the Lord.
I was sweating bullets in the church, as the preacher was long winded and loved tangents that were contradicting some of the ideas that he was stating.
It happens.
I liked it though. I just am critical about these things because I believe I have the right to do so.
No offense of course.
Today is Monday, it’s early, and I’m awake. I’m considering new things, but we’ll discuss those later.
I’m sorry for my lack of entertainment, I’m working on opening my eyes more at work, it’s just week 3 though, so it’s a little difficult.
