some ponderings...

Man...I have really changed the last few years. I went from being a crazy Baptist girl who was sort of anti-catholic...to whatever I am now...A pretend Catholic...weird...I remember I was at Applebee's with Josh and Tyana in the bar area when people from my old church came in. They saw me drinking. It was sort of a freeing experience. I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a crazy Baptist. It's just not for me. I'm not quite sure what's right for me. I love mass...but I have some hang ups on actually becoming Catholic. I still don't think I can say that the Catholic church is the one true church. Plus...I may be a bit too liberal for them...who knows. I had a priest ask me on Sunday if I was still becoming Catholic. It was sort of funny. But anyway...back to how I have changed...I used to be hardcore into the Christian music scene. Now...not so much. I will turn it to KLOVE every once in a while just for a good jam out session that will annoy anybody around me. I was against tattoos...after all the Bible says not to get one. Now I have two. I thought people with nose and eyebrow piercings were bad...now not so much. (obviously). I was crazy into Bible Quiz...actually I probably still would be because I like that stuff. What else? I was at church Sunday morning, evening and wednesday nights...and I thought if I wasn't there...it was bad. I had the perfect Christian girl front on. I didn't cuss. People at Chuck E. Cheese used to try to get me to cuss. Now I do...see: SHIT! I was sure I would never ever drink alcohol in my life. Now...I drink. Not heavily but I still do...and I like it. I love going to the bars...I love gambling...you guys have seen my dance video. Some of you would be very surprised by me if you would have met me a few years ago... haha...and the thing is...I am very comfortable with where I am. That is very suprising to me. I still don't know where I am going...except for not back to my old crazy conservative Baptist ways...but I am happy with where I am now...I mean come on...where would I be if I couldn't drink my kick ass tequilla?

If catholic is a little too rigid for you, you might want to try out ELCA lutheran.

I was lutheran for most of my life and have attended churches that did as much thumping and kneeling as any catholic church but also some that would make the average UCCer blush.

Might be worth a look if current stuff isn't working for you.

So when are you going to the Mennonite church with me and Leif? All I do when I go to church now is look around and imagine how the wedding is going to be and how things are going to look, etc. I try to listen but Andrew is usually distracting me and it's too darned early in the AM to concentrate so I just let my mind wander and daydream about the wedding.
