Grow

*ORIGINALLY POSTED ON AUGUST AUGUST 9TH*

Due to lack of internet on Sunday August 8th's update will be posted on August 9th*

So...today our family hosted a cook out for our old church.

Firstly I want to say that I despise saying "old church" because i grew up in that church and all of those people are my family. That is the only church that I've bee to really..my family never jumped around and stuff.

It pains me to say "old church" because even though the people in it might be old and stuff they are my family. The saying "it takes a villiage to raise a child" is really quite true. And it always just reminds me that I don't go there any longer...and it's not like I dint like my new church home, of course I do. But it's just not Living Word.

To me, switching church homes was like graduating from high school to college.

At Living Word we learned the basics. Right from wrong, the classic bible stories and their lessons that God teaches us with them. But eventually...you've "learned" all you can (even though it's impossible to really know everything about God) from that group of people and I stopped being challenged by them. So I had to move up and "graduate" (don't you just love extended metaphores?) and I came to Fairview. And I really am happy. Staying at living word would have been kin to a forty year old man living in his parents basement, comfortable and far to easy.
