This whole not being a diva thing is a tough road. I don't know how all you little people manage it.
I've been kind of frustrated with the church I've been attending on and off since my return to Homer. It has a lot of the style that I like, but it lacking in a lot of other areas. I had tried going to the church I grew up in a few times, but didn't care for the style, didn't like this, hated that, etc. I decided to go back again today and to set my nitpicky judgements and strong opinions aside. I was going not to find the myriad of things that didn't "suit me," but to gain whatever I could from the experience. To worship God, to hang out with him and to be with other Christians. It turns out that when I accept lack of perfection, I can actually be very blessed in a church that is "too traditional" or that has "too many cliques" or whatever. Praise God for that. It appears to be mostly about my attitude.
Hm. Go figure.

Dear Little People, I am smiling. Thanks.
Dear Interested, I'm currently trying out the church I grew up in.
(I feel like Dear freakin' Abbey. Next thing you know I'll be replying to 'Tainted Love' in Missoula)

We are a weird race. The first church I went to when I came to the States I stopped frequenting because the minister was ugly and I couldn't face looking at him week after week.

Thanks Lynne. Now I don't feel nearly as shallow. ;)
