Church
I am a Christian. I believe in God and in the past have been a VERY active participant. I love the work of the church and some of the fellowship activities. I enjoy being a contributing member. Recently though, I've gotten "out of the habit" for several reasons.
#1 Jeff works six days a week. Sunday is the only day I have him here to help me with the chores I'm not physically able to complete myself. If we want to have a fun day, this must be squeezed in on Sunday after the "have to's" are complete.
#2 When we were most active in the church, we got burned out and disillusioned by several events. I don't support some of the activities 100%.
#3 And, not unlike other functions, it is nearly impossible for me to sit there for one hour. I can't sit anywhere for one hour. I HAVE to be doing something. I take notes, write lists, play word games to get through. Don't misunderstand me - I am listening (usually) to the sermon while I'm putting pencil to paper. Again, I cannot just sit there!
#4 Many times I come out of church feeling worse than when I arrived.
Do you have advice, other than praying about it? . I've never been really good at that either.
