My Sunday Morning Ritual
The biggest problem about not having my own car is having to depend on other people and adjust my schedule to theirs. My parents and I go to different churches. They still go to the church that my mom grew up in and we kids grew up in as well. After I moved back here from Ottawa I knew I didn't want to go back to that church. It's just too conservative. The current pastor there believes that rock music is of the devil so the worship music that I love is not allowed to be played there. At least not with a full band. It's a very small church, maybe 30 people on a good Sunday. Anyways, when I got back I started going to All Nations with my friends Dana and Andy.
But once Dana and Andy moved away I had to find another way to get to church. Well my dad gives me a ride but because of the different times that our respective services start, I get dropped off an hour before my service starts. I can always find a ride home so that's not a problem. All Nations meets in the auditorium of my University so at least I can run up to the computer labs and surf, or write emails, or - like I am now - write a blog entry. heh heh. But that won't be for much longer since I'm a graduate now. In the fall I should lose my computer account here when they purge all the accounts at the end of the summer. Hopefully by then I'll have a car of my own.
I ended up cleaning my room yesterday and reorganizing it. I've been putting it off for a long time but we're having company over tonight so my mom had me help her clean the house. And once I got into the cleaning groove I just kept on going. I think I spent about 2 hrs on my room. Not that it was filthy, but I emptied my shelves and dusted them and time consuming stuff like that. I also went through my piles of paper and tossed a lot of all old receipts and notes and the like. I also had to make more room for my DVDs cause I've been a bad boy in regards to saving money.
This blogspot add at the top of this page is kinda freaky. I mentioned a few blogs ago how my eyes get tired and irritated at work so now there are links to adds for eye drops. Oh and I also like how the spellchecker doesn't like the word blog or blogspot. ;)

I TOTALLY know how you feel, Matt. Right now, I don't have a car either and it stinks. I have to rely on people to get me around and let me tell you, this situation passed "annoying" about ten thousand miles ago. But the thing is, my folks..are kind of not going to church right now..and guess who that also affects. You got it. They are a little bitter and they don't want me going...not even getting rides from someone else to go. Plus, our town is so small, it would mean getting someone to drive out here and take me back to Bakersfield to go to a church there. PLUS, my theological beliefs are changing right now..and that confuses me too.
Oh yeah..hehe..by the way, I have grown up in tiny churchs all my life. 30 people on a good Sunday morning sounds about right for the church I last went to. Only, this would have been on a Sunday with a potluck or something afterward. lol. Splendid.
God bless,
