I go to church too

Sometimes I'm not sure why. But I go to church every Sunday. Well I used to. It all seems a bit monotonous sometimes. That's probably my bad.

Any-who. We're in Salt Lake City now. AHHH. Who does that? Who moves to Mormonville on their own volition? (where does volition come from. from the word volatile?) There is aparently virtually NO Christian church up here. It's strange to people watch and think that those people potentially believe some of the weirdest crap imaginable (more on that later). Needles to say, I am in the minority here. 

The Christian church is very small and apparently very shallow. I think I might be ok with the shallow thing though. We went to a new church (one of the biggest around- about 400 peeps) on Sunday and it was raw. It surprised me. We walked into the "lobby" and the first words I heard were "I'm so f*$&ing tired" from a twenty-something sipping her pre-service coffee. We walked into a warehouse type building and I was quickly realizing that this was a bit more rough that just "rough around the edges".  These people looked more like they belonged in a bar. The church building was run down- it was a concrete floor, painted, with chips all over. 

I was shocked until I realized that this is what I have been looking for. I have wanted an escape from a world where, on Sunday mornings at least, everything is perfect. I don't really want to be around people right now that are telling me that they are ok when they are really dying. And I think I was most happy to be in a church that hadn't put more money into their building than they had into the rest of what a church is supposed to be here for. I'm looking for a church that is not about seeming to be someone beside who they are. 

I'm excited to find that church. This could be the place. A place where people haven't been told their whole life that a Christian looks like ( ) this.
