Skipping

So, we skipped Church yesterday, and it was awesome. we have been struggling with our church lately, and we finally decided to do some looking around. I have been going to this church for 8 years, so this decision dose not come lightly. and we may end up back, at the same place, but it is just time to look at other options. It has been so hard to connect lately in the Church. Ever scence our small group disbanded, it has not been the same at all. But more importantly, skipping church was such a relief, especially after reading through Blue and really beginning to realise living by grace and outside of the law. I really agree with one comment i heard from a pastor, he said "all my life, growing up, we were told that we did not have to live by the law, but by grace, and then the church would proceeded to teach us how to follow all the rules." It seamed kind of like flossing your teeth, every one agrees that it is the best thing to do, but who actually dose it?

Hey, I floss. Well, occasionally anyway. Good luck with the church thing. That does not sound like a lot of fun. We are really frustrated with the PCUSA right now -- to the point that Kurt ended his "inquirer for ordination" status last month (after only being one for like, a month). The good this is that there should be many options available in the Springs? Yes? Or no?

OH, and Kurt wants you to know that he has a new blog: www.tippingways.wordpress.com

It's the thing to do, I guess.
