Only…

(Part two of two on religion in my life.)
The question I dread when I go home to visit my family is, “Have you found a church home?”. I use to be direct, with a “No.” Then of course that leads into the dreaded, “Why? Why not?” and that’s when I typically find a big ol’dish of bean dip to hand the inquisitor.
I know that they pray for my ‘lost soul’ but my soul isn’t lost or wandering around without spiritual guidance. I’m getting plenty of it in my daily discussions with God. I pray fervently in all things, good, bad, and ridiculous. I think a bad thought and I ask forgiveness. I cuss out the driver that cut me off and I pray for God to give him guidance (and sometimes I think that it should be off the road and into a poll – but then I have to pray for forgiveness). I pray for people that have to go through horrific ordeals and I am thankful for all that I’m given.
But the bottom line is that the only judgment that I need is God’s.

The bible says that where two or more gather in the name of the Lord, they should find comfort, worship, peace, etc. And that God will hear them. Assuming you and the husband are both “saved,” then you can technically meet the bible’s requirements for a church home. Meaning that you’re doing just fine keeping things at a minimum, your focus on your relationship with your God and not your relationship with the other ladies in the bible study group. IMHO.

That looks painful.

Actually, not at all.
