Re: Alternatives to Church
I probably should have added:
Church is not contained in a building, but it is contained in each other. Church is engaging. It's participation. That, in my opinion, is the great command of
"Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves." Hebrews, I think.

Cleaning (for some reason I actually feel like doing it more on Sunday during church hours than any other time LOL)
Hiking
Museums
Parks
Drive in the mountains (or old towns or the plains or whatever)

Re: Alternatives to Church
Instead of rushing around Sunday mornings, or sitting in 7AM meetings, I have sex.

You know it doesn't count as sex if you're the only one present, right?
Sunday mornings are for a leisurely coffee followed by an hour or two in the surf. Lunch and a nap take care of most of the rest of the afternoon.

Oh, it totally does count.

I rediscovered the joy of sitting on my patio on Sunday mornings, enjoying the weather. I don't like coffee, but tea suits me fine.

When this happens it's called 'a blessing'.

English tea in a china cup with a saucer I hope.
That first chill breath of fresh air followed by a slurp and a deep satisfied sigh. Oh yes, that's living.

Re: Alternatives to Church

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
