"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth"
Churches should not be so big that you have to number the stairways so people know where they are going. Isn't the idea to worship together? I seriously doubt one can do that when the church is bigger than my high school.I had the kids last night and ended up having to take them to church and register them for Wednesday night Sunday school. Neither kid was particularly excited about going. K was scared to death (he knew no one there) and L argued with me in the car about whether they would ask her what was written in Isaiah. I told her they may discuss something Advent related. She asked me, "What's Advent?" Then said, "See, I shouldn't be going. I don't know what Advent is." The argument continued for the entire trip to the church. After a lot of chaos, I dumped the kids and went to the library for an hour.
L came out of her class and told me about how they learned that God doesn't judge you by what you wear, but rather what's in your heart. K talked for a bit, then L started talking about the two girls who thought they were so cool and totally the queens of the class. L told me she knew that these girls thought they were so great because they were wearing X kind of clothes. I guess that whole not judging people thing went right past her.
While we were gone, the rat got sick. She threw up on the carpet several times and once on the couch. I'm not paid to deal with sick dogs. Apparently, she ate some Christmas candy.
I got home after midnight and finally decided to turn the heat on. The thermostat read 47 degrees. It now reads 51 degrees. That ought to keep my house and pipes from being too unhappy.
