"Home Church"

I no longer feel like I have a home church. That is one of the downfalls of moving so frequently. Just when you start to feel at "home" somewhere, it's time to move again. I enjoy going back to the church I grew up in- although it has gone through a lot of changes and even switched buildings since I moved away.  I also like going back and visiting my most recent "home church" that I had to leave behind in June. But I don't have a steady Sunday morning retreat. I have quite a disfunctional "home church" life, and I hope that will change in the near future.

Sunday I went to church with a friend. It's a Baptist church. And I heard it was a little on the charasmatic side. 'That, I can do.' I thought. The first thing I noticed? The bright, colored foam microphone covers. Ya know, the ones from the 90's??

Yes, that's me in the orange. Sara's in the yellow and Krista's in the green-with matching mic covers, respectively. Aren't you loving the crooked teeth, hairclips, and baggy jeans? The 90's ruled.

It turns out the pastor had a good message to share, and being in a room full of believers is better than sitting home watching the ever-present catholic mass on television anyday...and it sure brought back some good memories!
