I am actually looking forward to going to church tomorrow. Even though it means waking up early and going out into the cold air that is suppressed by my Tommy Hilfiger, denim on one side, comforter. Then a warm shower and an exothermic reaction to once again steal all of my body heat. Then the real challenge happens, leaving my front door with a stomach full of cereal which is making me lazy. Struggling to keep my eyes open during the car ride with my family–probably yelling at my sister about something or her boyfriend or her attire or her bad attitude.  

Songs. Three, four, five, too many sometimes. Sometimes they get uncomfortable if they are new or just don’t make sense, or if they don’t have a structure which rhymes. It is very important that a good church song rhyme, have an easily followable rhythm, and not too many dips or sways in the voice.  Finally the message.  I hope it hits home.

This week has been rather hedonistic.  I have eaten too much, looked at too many tumblr blogs, downloaded a bunch of crap that I will never ever use, and basically wasted my life away through pictures of myself and pictures of others. Is this life? The insatiable desires for new things. I mean, that is what Christmas is becoming, is it not?  Pure hedonism.  Nothing is restrained.  

I need church to kick back in so that I can

“Be anxious for nothing…..whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things…..and the God of peace will be with you…”

Philippians 4:6-9
