How to mess up Christmas Eve

[litlover12]

I've been having some issues with my church lately. My parents have been having some issues with their church as well. So we decided to try Christmas Eve service at a small church a few minutes away.

It stank on ice.

Honestly, it was just awful. I don't mean to be unkind or persnickety (it's supposed to be about God and not our own preferences, after all), but the experience was so bad in every respect -- music, sermon, even the children's lesson -- we sneaked out the back before they were done!

The nice thing was, it made our own churches look a little better. I swear I could almost feel God tapping me on the shoulder and murmuring, "Maybe the situation at ___ isn't quite as desperate as you thought, hmm?"

Well, anyway . . . a very merry Christmas to you all, my friends. I'm blessed and grateful to have you in my life, and I wish you all the best!

I've been to so many services like that where we just left. It was really bad. We were going to go to the Catholic church but it was standing room only. I am not doing that in 4" heels, thanks! So we're going tomorrow instead. (We are considering joining the Catholic Church but I grew up Catholic-lite, so it would be easy for me. David, not really. But it's sort of where I feel like God is poking me at...)
