It’s been another pretty good Sunday. Mark went in to work at 6:15, so the boys and I got to sleep in a little bit until it was time to go to church @ 10:00. We went with Mack and Dorothy this morning to Dorothy’s home church (Forrest Home). They were having their homecoming service today. It’s a really cute little church smack dab in the middle of the woods. They had the entire sanctuary pretty much filled to capacity. They opened the front doors and people were even sitting outside on the front steps!

This evening, we went again with Mack and Dorothy to Mack’s sister Jean’s church (Elk Valley). Her church has a Sunday evening service (many in the area do not). We got to hear a lot of good singing, and the crowd got to hear a lot of Mackie screaming!!! (Give and take, you know!)

As some of you know, Mark and I have not been attending our church since this time last year. As it happens all too often, due to some unfortunate circumstances, we felt it best to look for somewhere else to go.

Mark and I both grew up going to church every time the doors were opened, so this bout of not going anywhere regularly has taken its toll on us. We want to take our boys somewhere where we can let them get involved, but at the same time, let us remain uninvolved for the time being. That sounds horrible, doesn’t it? Just know that we have been visiting a very nice church (the next county over) that a few of our friends attend and have really liked it so far. Just pray for us in our search and pray that we will find the right fit for our family and circumstances at this time in our lives.

As for right now, sleep is the immediate issue at hand. Both boys are in bed (may not be sleeping, but they ARE in bed!!), and I’m heading that way myself! I hope that you all had a great weekend and that you will all have a great week to come!
