The church that Phil and I attend, meets in a school gym… we’ve been attending for 4 years, and have never experienced the need to cancel church (actually we have once or twice, due to high amounts of snow). This year, actually in August, church was cancelled for 3 weeks. There are some serious school district changes going on, and it affected us being able to utilize the space.

Over these weeks, my perspective on ‘going to church’ has changed. There are some sundays, when I am lying in bed and think, I could just stay here, and have no desire to get up, get ready and head to church. Somedays I feel like its soo much work to get there. But, when I am told I can’t go, that it is not an option, my perspective has been changed.

I take advantage of thing, I go when I ‘feel’ like it, and can sometimes can decided I don’t feel like it, and miss out. I’ve realized, that I can’t continue on like this. My perspective has to change… I am sure it will, as I’m learnign a lot lately, and I’m sure that somedays when I’m in bed, I will have the same battle… but now I am aware of this, and appreciate meeting together as a church even more.
