Default Re: Why I don't attend church

Thank you all for the encouragement, I didn't see anything here that frightened me or bothered me, I saw some real love going on.

It's true, I am often considered to be a well spoken and intelligent girl, I do know very well that I am someone childlike and naive still. It still bothers me to know that I come home each night alone, and not to my parents. I don't understand what preachers say not because I don't understand the words but because what they speak of is not like poetry in a book, its life on an entirely different level, and it's harder for me to decipher it the same. I just wish I could find a preacher that realises we are people, we get up each day, we eat foods we find tasty, we play games, we mess up, we get distracted, and we aren't living in heaven yet. We are made perfect by Jesus Christ, but we are still living on Earth, and we still speak Earth.

Thank you for the encouragement, I'm still going to attend my weekly meeting. For those who asked, I attend because its the easiest for me to get to, since I don't own a car, I enjoy the worship, it has fellow students that I love seeing, but I still don't leave terribly comfortable, though the man who preaches for us is very good and kind, better than most I've found. No doubt that there are still other problems in my head keeping me out of church, since I am young and I'm just another kid on earth still, but I am still going to keep looking. I'll find it some day.
