re: Did anyone go to church today?

I was there. Just got home from lunch at Acme. Awaiting game while trying to get a read on the Gulf mid-week.

Was lector at the 11 am Mass today, also substituted as extraordinary minister of Holy Communion distributing the Precious Blood.

Nice.

I was Mary instead of Martha this morning (which doesn't happen that often).

Shoutout to all who went to church, especially to lsunurse, who seems to have been hurt in the past but lives a positive life today with a good testimony. The Church (the body of believers in Jesus Christ, not the building itself) is made up of people whose sin debt was paid by Jesus when He voluntarily gave up His life on the cross at Calvary. We are still people prone to sin, still selfish, still disobedient, still unforgiving toward others but striving to take 2 steps forward after every step backwards.

I urge you to go to church (any CHRISTIAN fellowship) to learn how to become one of the body of believers and have peace with God. Life will still have its problems and sin will still be attractive but you can know that God will never forsake you after you become one of His children.

This is much better than waking up on Sunday mornings with a hangover, strung out on drugs or looking into the face of a woman who doesn't look nearly as good as she did when you picked her up last night.

You will never have peace until you get right with God through Jesus Christ. A good first step is a prayer of repentence on your knees in your bedroom, driving down the road in your pickup with the trucknuts or in a church where you will feel welcomed. Try it.

God is good all the time
And all the time God is good

From today’s gospel reading from Mark chapter 7:

quote:

---

He summoned the crowd again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.

"From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile."

Reminds me of some posters hereabouts, especially the “arrogance and folly” part.

I went. Brady Whitton was on point.

i'm a Luciferian so yes i went to temple.

I went and brought my Mama like I do every Sunday.

I went and am going again tonight. I’ll miss the first 30 min of the game, but I figure we need all the help we can get

I went to ‘worship’ today.

Considering we are the church, it’s not a building.
