Well we were going good for 3 weeks, the kids were cool everything was fine. Then for the last 3 weeks we have not been.
The first week was because we had out-of-town guests. The second was because my wife’s parents were out of town (not sure why that was a factor). This past weekend was because I was kind of tired and had got busy going some other things.
They are really weak reasons excuses but that is why we have not been there. We are not planning on going this Sunday either – more guests. Instead we are planning on hitting the mid-week service. I have been told that the mid-week service is even better then the Sunday Service so I am looking forward to that.
I have to say that I feel the difference between going to church and not going to church. I am more tired, irritated, and less excited about life in general without going to church. I look forward to going back.

Go to church. Make it a priority. Wife’s family in town? Catch the early service and you can catch up in time for brunch.
Church is like working out. The longer you stay away, the harder it is to start. the more consistent you are, the more consistent your results.
I am not confusing church with God (and I understand that we are the church) but I think God would like us to go to church more often than not.
Carl,
Thanks for your comment (I barley found it today – sry
).
We have made it back to church on Sunday and the last couple of Wednesday Services. It was difficult to go back but it is easier to go – the more we go.
Thanks for stopping by.
