Ack. Forgot to post last night again!

this time it was no foul situation that kept me from tippity typing.  just that I forgot!

this weekend really made me see how much fellowship can mean.  as you know our good friends from college were over for the weekend and that means I managed to make it to church with one of them and with the baby :) and it was refreshing!
the church we attended was an inner city church that our synod has had great success with.  st. marcus lutheran church and it absolutely spoke to where my family is right now...with the baby having words on a screen up front allowed me to manage her with both hands and it also allowed me to lift my head up and sing and really feel the praise...I loved the casual approach of the pastor as he was in a suit and talking to us from the general front of the church (as opposed to the pulpit) and initiating responses from the congregation...the message was good and relatable and actually allowed us to see into the mission work of his week -it's so funny but I had often wondered what pastors do all week and he really filled in some of those gaps and it made me appreciate the type of stress one must feel to be tasked with evangelising as your job (although. snicker. we all have that task. but it's easier for me to make excuses when I have a desk job that "requires" 40+ hours of my week)...I loved that he mixed up the liturgy by bringing in a part of luther's small catechism -what a great reminder of the words that I memorized a million years ago and have hardly touched since(!)...and I appreciated the sense of community I felt and the sense of true equality across the ages and the races and the lifestyles...I think this is MY kind of church.

anyway.  I know that was rambly.  but I have to get back to my "desk job" now and don't have time for clear thoughts :) will post again later gater!!
