I have a migraine and I didn't go to church today. So I'm laying on the couch wondering what's happening in church. First, it's the last Sunday of the month, so I missed the pick a hymn. People shout out hymns and everyone sings them for the 10 minutes before church starts. Ughhh. I really like that. Next, I missed the regular hymns. I really do go to church for the hymns, or some of them anyway. I like the singing. I wonder who the acolyte was. It is cute to see the little kids up there doing their part in the service. Did the bells play? Did the choir do an anthem with the piano? What were the readings? What was the sermon about? I missed so much. I feel like I'm back in college and was out of classes sick for a week...so much to catch up on. I missed the lessons. I'm already 30 years behind, I can't miss another week!
And I made cookies for Pastor Chuck, but not going means I didn't bring them. And I can't go to church next week. Oh how I hate headaches...the things I miss give me more headaches.

games
Had a great time yesterday at game night at church. We went, armed with a couple of games, to play some games with some other people. Bambi had a nice set up of snacks, which Zach especially loved! Christopher played a LEGO creator game that was really awesome with a couple of kids who live off cape (their grandmother goes to the church). I tried to get the game off ebay or amazon, but it is many years old and now sells for about $200...not in my budget! Then I finally learned how to play the Mexican Train Game, a domino game I've heard about for years, but never knew how to play. We ate some pizza and kept playing.
The thing about it is that it was really nice. Some forced time to just forget about cleaning the house or doing errands and instead play games with the kids. And to do it in the church with a nice group of people, most of whom we didn't know, added to the fun. This is one of the reasons I wanted to come to church...the community aspect of it. We had some good wholesome fun that the kids looked forward to for a week. And as much as I didn't feel like dragging myself out, I'm glad I went.
