Couch Church

Well, it's been awhile since I've been on this blog. So I've been wanting to get back into the swing of things. And I'm doing this for the second time around because my stupid browser somehow backed me out of writing this and erased everything I wrote. Ugh!

Anyways, T and I have not found a church that really fits us here in the Burg. We attended one church regularly for awhile and there were definitely some positives. We really liked the people and the church overall. However, they have two styles of services. The one at 11:00am doesn't seem to really fit us at all. We like the service that they offer at 8:30am. However, Sunday is the one day of the week that we don't have to get up early for anything. That may sound lazy to some, but oh well. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. The reality is that rushing around like mad to get their on time just causes us to bite each other's heads off. So for a day that's supposed to honor God, that doesn't seem very God honoring to me. What better way to honor God than to be home with my family and have time to love and appreciate them? I know some will not see it that way, but oh well.

We are looking for ways to incorporate God into our Sunday in a formal sense. What we've finally decided on is couch church. We tried it this past Sunday and it was kind of nice. I had my cup of joe and we sat and listened to a podcast that we found. Even Boo joined in for prayer time. Of course, he can never wait until the end of the prayer to say "Amen." He usually says it all throughout the prayer...lol!

Anyways, so we'll be looking for podcasts that resonate with us and encourage good theological conversation. I'm looking forward to more of our Couch Church days!
