Surprising Sunday

Today was an interesting Sunday. It started out at about 7:00 or 7:30 am. Jonathan and I, even though we loved Springs of Grace, decided that we wanted to look around a little bit more. Well, this church was definitely a surprise. For the sake of propriety, I'm going to keep the name of it to myself. It's a huge church. I loved their website. But the church...the church we did not love.

It was very insincere. The worship was lifeless and performance-like. The message was weak. Call me picky, but when someone is sloppy with historical or cultural context, it upsets me a lot. Essentially, the topic of the message was fine. But the execution was terrible. We actually left a few minutes early.

As we were leaving, we walked by a sign for a ministry. I can't remember the name of ministry, but the acronym was SAFE. I thought that this described the church perfectly. In my opinion, the only thing that should be safe in a church is the nursery. So needless to say, we regretted not going to Springs of Grace this morning. We'll see what we do next time.

I mentioned that I'll be travelling to visit great grandmothers this week to introduce my boy. Well, my mom and grandmama came today to spend the night. I was expecting them this evening, but my second surprise of the day came when I got home from church. They were waiting by our door. (Jonathan knew.) So we enjoyed a day with them. :)

We leave tomorrow morning. I'll be back on Wednesday.
