In and Out

I know I'm going to sound like an old, legalistic granny, but am I the only one who thinks too many people are coming and going as they please during church services? Yes, when little ones fuss or need to move, or there is an emergency, or you get paged to pick up your little one... then it is time to move. But, you can't tell me that all those people who are up and down, in and out, back and forth, more than once, during the service each week, didn't know that they needed to use the restroom before service started. You can't tell me that you couldn't wait a few more minutes for a cup of coffee (or Coke, or water). And, sorry, but what is up with all the people who think if they leave right after the sermon during prayer time that they are on to something? Guess what? We all end up leaving eventually, and is it that important to get going before everyone else does? I am a fairly focused person, and generally do not have a hard time concentrating when distracting things are going on around me. However, I feel sometimes like I am sitting in a fast food joint with a revolving door at the back, where folks just seem to operate under the impression that church must fit into their busy personal over-scheduled lives. They come in, order what they want (a little music here, a small prayer on the side, and a small helping of the Word), and then they are on to the next thing.

I'm a slacker this week - only because we have had lots of events out of the house and now I am trying to prepare for our summer getaway. I have some posts coming, but I've had to put them on the bottom of the list... so don't give up on me again. I won't be away for long!

Random Thoughts

... I wonder how I can get that TV hooked up to this computer and be able to ditch the cable? Um, yeah, that Biggest Loser workout was much better and way more useful than the sorry walking video I did last night. I wonder what life will be like as a size 6 again? Will I ever make it there? Of course it doesn't matter if I don't - well, to me it does, but it won't be a problem for anyone else. Looking forward to seeing some girlfriends tomorrow night. Hmmm... what to plan for Family Fun Day on Sunday. Loved spending the day outside. I really should try to fix the lawn mower over the weekend and surprise David. Need to send a thank you card... do I have stamps - yes I do. Brad is doing so well sitting up -oh, man, I still haven't worked in his baby book, or Drew's... add both to the list of things I never seem to get to. Wow, need to get ice cream off the brain. But I am so warm - it would taste so good. But 27 pounds lighter is going to taste even better. If the people on the Biggest Loser can do it, I can! My desk was clean... it's on it's way back to messy and dysfunctional. I can't wait to get all the outside toys in one location in the garage - ah, the garage. It is a for certain love-hate relationship. Add that to the list too. Does my church family know how much they mean to me? I don't know where we would be without them.
