Church in SC

So I really had fun this morning although we only went to this church to hear the worship, then left to enjoy some Golden Corral. Its a church in South Carolina that I've never heard of before and is in the middle of nowhere but its like huge and their worship is off the chain. We waited in line for parking for only God knows how long. People were coming out of the woodworks into this place. They have screens outside the auditorium where you can watch from the lobby couches and drink from their coffee shop; and when we walked in, I thought they were playing a music video, but they weren't. Worship had already started and it was live on the tv's.

I know people seem to think that we shouldn't draw people by entertaining them, but it sure draws a crowd so you can at that point minister to them and feed them some Jesus. Although we barely made it in the auditorium to find the last seats available while they began pulling out chairs to fill the lobby because of the large crowd, it was pretty cool. I told Shawn to add some lead to his foot while we were driving there, but his mouth was too busy running to the rest of the car that he couldn't focus on them both, so we of course were late.

It felt really different going into this church than others we've been in lately, even more similar ones. I actually for the first time felt the desire to "want" to get involved. Yeah alot of things here lately that come into my mind sneak up on me...as if I'm not expecting those thoughts or feelings to arise. It came as a surprise to myself that I kinda actually wanted to get involved. For those of you who haven't been involved with my life in the last couple months, I've come to the realization that I don't really want to be involved leadership-wise with a church. Too much for me. Before, I never understand why people don't like church or church people. I have now come to that understanding. I'm glad I can relate so well now...lol... But its no reason to give up on church or the many downfalls of church people. None of us are perfect. It's just picking yourself up and making it up in your mind that you won't be like those who've been "not Jesus" to you. Quite simple : P
