I went to church this a.m. with some friends. I was invited last week by an old girlfriend and I wasn't sure of it. It's presbyterian and I haven't been to an organized religion since I was a kid. I prefer the nondenominational ones. The church that I'm a member of has several campuses and 15000 members. I didn't like going by myself because of all the people. I guess I am a church snob. So I decided to go to this church with my friend last week and the congregation was so small, maybe about 30 people, the pastor was about 80 and, yes he knows that bible inside and out but I think his best sermons are very much in the past. But you know what? I have never felt more welcome. I have prayed and prayed for God to put someone in my life to go to "my" church with me, I think he put someone in my life to go to a different church.

I am still struggling with the empty space I feel in my chest whenever I take a deep breath and It's so funny because for the longest time, I couldn't even take a deep breath.

I never realized how wordy I am until I started blogging on this site. I'm pretty quiet in "real life"  It's something I should practice on.

All of you enjoy what's left of your Sunday
