But would still like a rant...! WHY OH WHY do people insist on preaching for 30-45 minutes????? Is that they love the sound of their own voice? Can they not articulate clearly in 5-10 minutes what they want to say? Are they just incompetent? Is it that they think they have all the answers? Somehow they are the discoverers of the REAL truth of what the Bible is saying!!! ARGHHH! Get to the point and shut up! AMEN! I’m way behind! But would still like a rant…!

I have visited a church where everyone is like paranoid about where they sit. They seem to sit in family or really close friends groups (which is fine)but I remember sitting down somewhere as I visited with some friends who attend the church and they were like "no, such and such sit here we sit over there" which was just crazy. its like primary school kids or something lol What about people who turn up for the first time and don't know someone to sit with?? do they have to sit at the very back??? Surly it doesn't really matter where you sit. I am used to sitting in relatively the same are at church (at the front on the right with the rest of the youth) but I wouldn't mind that much if I got there one week and other people were sat there I would either mingle with them or find where others that I know were sat (depending on if I feel like socialising with people I don't know that much or not - bad self confidence lol) Ok I know I’m lagging a little behind but I just thought about this.

And so she kept her mouth shut, and climbed back down so she could spend more time learning from those people before she came to any definite conclusions." :) “Once she got up there and could see the faces of everyone she knew and loved down below, she realized that all the things she thought she had to say were ridiculous, sweeping generalizations.

I know that God has forgiven me, but a lot of stuff I did hurt other people, and those other people are still hurting. And, frankly, I feel guilty about that. But I'm not supposed to feel guilty because Jesus has taken away our guilt and this must clearly be a trick of the Enemy, so now I'm feeling guilty about feeling guilty.
