Shopping...
I have just spent a couple of hours on line reading with sadness about the shooting of 18 in AZ and then church shopping. Yes...that is correct. And I hate the wishy washiness of church shopping. :P I am drawn to the tradition of the Episcopal Church but have absolutely no background or understanding. I looked at the United Church of Christ...which sounds good...but honestly...I just want to offer my children some sort of religious practice. Does that make sense? I believe God can be found anywhere...so Church isn't necessary...but is a nice addition to one's life. At this point in my life I am going for moderation...I crave it and I sure as hell am not going to get mired in extremism on either front. Which makes it hard doesn't it?

I church shopped for 5 months until I found my current church home. I had mixed emotions about going at all because...long story. Most of the churches were fine but eh, whatever and a couple were great for keeping me aware of what time it was because I just wanted to leave. I wasn't going to settle. I was attempting to return to Christianity from a very comfortable Agnosticism and wasn't going to bother faking enjoyment or forcing my attendance. Once I found New Hope Christian Church I cried for the first month, every service. The sermons seemed tailored to my life, the music was great (big deal for me) and it was near my home. I realize this is an older blog and maybe you've found your church home now but if not, keep searching till the Holy Spirit moves you. You will know. Blessings to you!
