I am happy you all liked the church! I think I am not comfortable with the pastor visiting at our home. LOL I don’t know why I am not good at entertaining guests.

I hope Jared will not feel so bad about his bowling scores lately and hope he will get back in having great scores.

I hope Jared sees a big leap in his bowling talents soon! Also, I am like you on the church thing – granted, I’ve been with the same church most of my life. However, I have ventured into other churches to help teach Sunday School and when I went away to college. If I’m pressured too much from the start, I run for the hills.

Glad you enjoyed the new church. I understand what you mean about the joining thing. I like to be in “no pressure” situations. Why can’t people just go and enjoy themselves without feeling pressured to join, be a certain way, act a certain way, etc.?

The blog books sound awesome!

See I probably would have liked the loud rock music LOL.

I hope the pastor doesn’t pressure you into joining. I wouldn’t like that either.

Glad you all liked the church. And yes, any church that presses for membership right away, is a definite warning. If you have been there a while and want to go for it … that is a different situation.

Hugs!

Sorry Jules…but I had to laugh when you talked about that church! LOL! I know what you mean, since I went to Lifegate too for years. Gotta love those Baptists! I really like the Baptist doctrine too but have a hard time with the membership thing. Some can definitely pressure you into doing a lot of stuff. We never fill out the visitors slips anymore because we’ve had too many churches who didn’t know when to stop visiting or calling. A couple of churches we visited in the past were like that (they were all Baptist) and well, we got really tired of it. Our church now is very big, sounds like the church you’ve been attending lately. It has no membership which is nice and the people are surprisingly friendly for it being so large. The previous church we went to, we finally left because although it was fairly small (small to medium..a little larger than Lifegate) no one hardly would talk to us…and we attended there for 4 years! We live in a small town and all those people knew each other for years or were related and they never really included anyone new. They weren’t mean and I don’t think they did it on purpose. They were just very click-ish. So we finally ended up leaving. I like where we are so much better now…just wish I was healthy enough to go most Sundays. I hope the church turns out to be a good one for you so you can finally have a place to call home…it sure can be a tough process finding one!

Hugs!!!

Ohhh let us know how you like the blog books when you get them, I’m planning on trying to come up with some money….someday…to get some of ours too. I looked at blurb, and another place. I liked the price at blurb, plus the fact that I’d be able to make my own cover…but the other place would slurp up the comments to, which I really liked, so not sure what I’m going to do. Probably end up with blurb, just because the price is so much better…but it will be a while before I have the money, so I could change my mind.

I wish I had the money now…cause I’d so love to have a hard copy of them too, just wish I could get more than a years posts per book…but with all my photos in my posts I can’t. LOL
