Religion

(Watch out - this is a long one - and probably only interesting to me)

So I went to church this morning.. And it got me thinking about why I still go to church and how that fits into my life.

I’ve always had a really strange relationship to church and religion which has changed over time. When I was little my family (mother’s side of the family at least) was very religious (Christian Scientist) and we went to church every sunday like clockwork.. My mom wasn’t very vocal or push about it and my dad just went along to be supportive. But my Grandma - she was another story. I think women her age took classes on how to deal with kids in the church and she’s always done all the stuff any good God fearing Christian woman should do… She sang me hymns at bed time. She bought me books about Daniel and the lions den and Joseph and the coat of many colors. She always had little mints an paper and pens in her purse on sundays to keep us quiet during the service (our church was small so sunday school was before the main service so the teachers could hear the service). Even to this day she checks on me to see if I’m going to church and explaining to me why I should try to convince Kevin to come with me.
