I want to say i'm dreading going to church - but church isn't the issue. I'm dreading the "going". Once i'm there, i'm fine. I think i have a touch of social anxiety or something. Or maybe i just don't want to get dressed.
So, i came here to see if there was anybody around to sidetrack me a bit longer so i could put off getting in the shower and getting ready. No? Oh well, guess i'll go jump in the shower.

I totally get it. I don't have a cure for you. It does help to go "as a family"
Got there late and found it completely packed. We found two seats by the back wall to the left of the entrance so we sat there. A lady pointed us to the upstairs balcony. What a relief, just a few people.
The reason there were no seats was the pastor's object lesson He had assigned 'reserved' to three full pews. The lesson, he introduced the empty pews as the outstanding saintly people in his church. All I could think of was that the late comers were banished to the balcony. That's okay, we got to skip out before the crowd.
Anna, I remember Saturday vigils where we were the only ones there aside from the pastor and maybe a reader. I miss the prayers, incense and candlelight.
