Church

I woke up early and went to church this morning. I did go to the Catholic church because I have Mary Reilly and it's close to my house. I would love to go to the Episcopal church but that service is at 7:30 am! That's way to early for this momma! I have noticed a few things that have bugged me about going to church. Who said it was ok to wear jeans or even worst shorts to church? I mean you can't get dressed up one day a week? It's like people just rolled out of bed and came because their guilt told them to go. I am not big on wearing pants but atleast it's not jeans. As I was brought up, if you bought a dress you would have to wear it to church first before you could wear it out. I was NEVER allowed to wear anything but a dress to church. I can admit that when I was pregnant I did wear pants but I didn't have anything else that fit. I guess the Catholic church just wants you to be there and put money in the offering plate. All have have left to say on this issue is show some respect to the most important person who gave you life!

Another thing, since I am on this church thing, talking in Church. I know I have a baby and she sometimes makes noise but if your baby is crying take the child out. That's what nurseries are for. I see these parents just ignore the child while it's crying. Then you see the other people around them get mad that they can't hear. Think about the priest who has to talk over all these babies. Do you think he likes all this noise?

One more thing. When it's time for communion why do people leave? The mass isn't over. Would it hurt anyone to stay until it's over? Since I had 12 years of Catholic school I was taught the mass isn't over until the last song has been sung. I think people just don't want to wait to get out of the parking lot. If you think that then why come to church in the first place?

I feel better now!
