Maybe because my parents, ...I'm a church nerd.<br /><br />Maybe because my parents, both brought up in church, decided when they no longer were forced to go to church, that they would not. Maybe attending church was my adolescent rebellion. <br /><br />I just know that during the times of my life that I made the choice to shun worship services, my life was crap. When I decided to attend, maybe my weekly life was crap, but I had a place to go on Sunday and various other days that was holy. I needed to be there. I need to be "in the midst of them." <br /><br />Today I found myself trying to explain my church nerdiness to a UCC pastor at a funeral reception. She got it when so many others do not. It is all about community.Lauralewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13899810561123775484noreply@blogger.com
