QotD: Sunday Funday
What's your favorite thing about Sunday?
Church!
If you're inclined to make an atheist or non-"cult" or anti-ritual or WHATEVER comment, button it now. Some of the atheists I have the pleasure of calling new friends are far more intense "zealots" than I have ever been as a member of a faith that IS more die-hard.
You can't deny that coming into the company of good-hearted friends, solemn and sacred music, learning about the amazing possibilities and rewards that come of a life of faithful service and shutting out the noisome influences of the world for a few hours a week IS a source of serenity and a rejuvenation for the week to come.
Even as someone plagued by a serious episode of social anxiety this week, I was rewarded for dragging myself out of bed and getting dressed and getting out to church by an amazing service, a personal revelation that will likely cause me a lot of upheaval (more on that later) and a general sense of bien-être that might even last me till tomorrow ;) hehe.
So there you have it. Church.
