Tomorrow is Sunday and I suppose the family will go to church. I won't go, however. I'll just stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet of the house. I know why my family goes to church. They go for fellowship and the chance to worship God. But guess what else will happen while they are there? People will gossip. People will spread rumors. People will say hurtful things about folks they are supposed to be in communion with. God will be shoved aside and the people's selfish agendas will take precedence. The organ will be too loud, the Lenten hymns will not be recognized by anyone in the pews, and the preacher will grandstand. Sunday school attendance will be low and the people who showed up for Sunday school will try to figure out why no one comes to church anymore. (I bet they'll blame my roommate . . . )! The coffee will be bad and the grade school kids will eat all the cookies before the adults can make it to the Fellowship Hall. Organized religion can be such a bugger-boo sometimes. I guess I'm being pessimistic - perhaps even shallow . . . but -
I'll work on that, but in the meantime, I'm sleeping in tomorrow.
