Guest blogger

Tonight I have a guest blogger who would like to remain nameless for now. Actually, she said we could call her Jane Austen. I am posting on behalf of her, and it is weird how much her blog and my resolution #4 were being penned at the same time. I hope seeing her words on my blog will make her start her own!

Reasons I go to church:

1. to give thanks to God for all the people, things, and talents with which He has blessed me
2. to pray and beg for forgiveness for thoughts, words and actions that betray the person God made me to be and to become
3. to learn new ways to live my Christian faith on a daily basis
4. to reset my life; a demarcation, a line in the sand if you will, where I can go forward with renewed determination and faith to live as I should

Things that distract me from my church purpose

1. moms who, without leaving the pew, bust out a boob in the middle of Mass for their previously screaming baby to nurse on (p.s. I feel more sorry for their husbands than I do for me, they are probably thinking ‘I can’t even see it at home, and you’re showing all of them???’
2. assholes in Lexuses, Hummers, Jaguars, Mercedes (aaah, Suburbia, how you have materialized everything) who do not merge appropriately, make decisions that can only be explained by the driver’s eyes being inoperative, and who fail to do the I’m-sorry-I-just-cut-you-off, performed-an-unsafe-act, or I-didn’t-see-you wave. (it’s church; be penitent!)
3. the guy who knocked me to the ground because he opened the door without looking and I was on the other side
