churches can be lonely places...

The church has been on my mind a lot lately, and I don't mean just one particular church but the entire body of Christ, the Church.  I think a lot about the functions and purpose of the Church in my life and how I have basically wandered about for years and years.  I guess you could say I left Egypt and wandered across Jordan only to be wandering around in the wilderness.  It's time I left the wilderness for good.  For those of you not Christians, it's hard to even explain what I'm saying except to say that I'm really itching to have a church to really get involved with and to grow. 

We visited a new church on Sunday, and I enjoyed it immensely.  The pastor certainly has a heart for song and worship and is a great speaker.  More than that, the people were sincere and friendly.  I have NEVER been one to want to raise my hand should a pastor ask for first time visitors to raise their hands and be recognized.  There I was raising my hand.  AND I didn't get hives.

I'm hopeful, to say the least, but have some other leads if this one doesn't work out.
