Well I went back to church today it has been awhile. I did have a couple of people ask where I had been which does make one feel good. My problem with going back to the church where my wife and I had been going is that with the previous Minister that was there he new us by our names where this new Minister didn't even recognize that I hadn't been there. It is true that you don't go to church to be recogized by everyone, that you go to church to worship God. My thought is that you can worship God at home that you don't need to go to church, the thing I look to the church for is,is for support and guidance. My Christian Sister Heidi does a great job in guiding me, she is a very Wise Woman for her young age. I am blessed to have her as my friend. I love this quote "The friend who provides both physical and emotional shelter is a true haven, one who helps another weather a storm in safety." And another quote that love also is from an Indian tonque, friend beautifully states "one-who-carries-my-sorrows-on-his-back."
Lent is quickly coming upon us and I have been contemplating doing two things to honor Christ's sacrifice for us on the Cross. First I am not going to drink any alcohol for the fourty days of Lent. Second I am thinking of fasting at least for one day. I know these don't compare to what Christ did for us but I am far from being the perfect human being that Jesus was.
That is it for this post I will let you know how I make out with my Lenten sacrifices.

Glad ya'll were back in church today. Don't give up on the new pastor too quickly. Give him some time to get to know you and you him. Who knows what will happen after that. Let God use you!
