This post has been infected with a bad attitude.
Does anyone really LIKE 1:00 p.m. church? Sitting or working through three hours of church on a Sunday afternoon is REALLY a test of faith. Yes, it is difficult to wake up early and make it to 9:00 a.m. church, but at least you have the rest of the day to recover. This morning I got out of bed at the perfect time...when I woke up on my own. If it was up to me, NOTHING would start before 9:30 a.m.
After being awake for a couple hours I thought we should all get dressed for church, but my husband informed me we had a couple more hours before we need to get gussied up. I gave up and went back to bed and read a book. Now, I'm not saying this was a bad thing, but an hour or so later I had to get back out of bed and get going to church. Aaaaagh! Here is what I think Sunday afternoon should look like.
This is what my Sunday afternoons look like currently:
During the winter months 1:00 p.m. church is particularly difficult because:
It is cold, dark, and late when we get out of church. Let's face it! It is winter here a lot.We have just one more Sunday until January will be over. Hurray! I will have just 11 months left. If you subtract two General Conferences, two Stake Conferences, a few weekends for traveling purposes, a couple sick Sundays for myself or a child, and I know I can make it to that golden 9:00 a.m. time slot. I will make it because God has promised that I can do all things with His help. I will not apologize for using a miraculously spiritual concept of being saved to explain the way I feel about 1:00 p.m. church.
I am not a fan of late church. Especially in the spring and summer. But for now I am enjoying sleeping in and reading in bed till 11:30 or so.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I feel exactly every morning at 5 AM, as I get up for seminary. I do feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one. It's going to take a lot of adjustment. I need to work on my attitude too. We must be sisters.
