Church, Daddy and All The Stuff In Between

My Dad at his home with my little man KJ


Daddy and my Aunt Pearlie Mae before Uncle George's Funeral - Old Southern names right? and my dad's name is Hill!

Well thought I would stop by and say hi to all my buddies that check me out on a regular basis. You all won't believe this, I actually went to church today! How bout that? See with me in a building with an Elder in the ministry, you get a chance to see and hear all kinds of people from the ministry come in and out and they are always asking me when I will be attending? So I decided to go this morning.
First off I don't do devotion services cause I want you to get to the meat of church service and that's the preaching so we can go home. I know, I know so mean of me right? But I have never been a fan of the deacons and the praying and the screaming and shouting. So it has been a struggle for me to find a church here in this part of the country where there has not been a whole lot of it.
Well I walk in and you can hear the Bishop speaking, he wasn't screaming or shouting he got right to the point. My goodness could it be that he doesn't shout? I was waiting around holding my breath and crossing fingers hoping and praying that he didn't go into the whole singing and shouting thing cause then you lose me and I only want the word, that's it.
Sadly he did but not for long. He went right back to the sermon and closed the service after prayer. Wow I actually got home from church by one o'clock! Not to mention they served lunch afterward of barbeque chicken and ribs, chicken strips, green beans, potato salad and warm rolls slathered with butter in their dining hall. How nice but I took mine to go since I had cooked at home already.
While I was there and during prayer however I did get a chance to pray for my dad who had his hand crushed at work and goodness knows how long he will be out of work along with the fact that he lost a finger. This was caused by someone else's error and this guy gets to keep his job! I don't get it. I prayed for clarity in my business and what I am doing and to make sure that I do it right. I prayed for my home life, for me and Kevin and the children yes even his daughter whom we can't see anymore thanks to her mother.
I am a quiet person when it comes to my faith and I would rather not be bothered during my quiet time in prayer nor do I want to be called out in church during service because of my so called position in the community. Leader? Who me? Nah. So I quietly slipped in and out of the service so not to cause attention.
I think for now I will stick to live internet services with Bishop TD Jakes or Dr. Creflo Dollar. Yeah .......for now.

Til Next Time
