Palms

Victory! After weeks of trying to get myself up and at church on time I finally succeed! It was a good day at church, Palm Sunday. I can't exactly explain it but Friends Congregational Church is the first church that I feel inclined to go to. It may just be the fact that the seats face huge window gazing outside to a small field with trees instead of stained glass windows. It also may be that the speakers, but I distinctly remember not liking church back home because it always felt pretentious. Today the pastors did a skit talking about different takes on Palm Sunday; it seemed pretty generic until Dan said "the most frequently used phrase in the Bible is 'fear not.'" I've spend at least the last three weeks worrying myself idle about things. For a brief momment, the 'Fear Not' perspective let me actually grapple onto religion a little bit today. I've found myself wondering if I really would like to go on a church retreat.
