well, i did it again. today i didn't chat up the ringless, just-the-right-amount-of-nerdy guy in the religion section of the half-price books clearance sale. not even after i had thought while trying to find the section, 'this would be a dream way of meeting a guy. i mean, books, cheap books, cheap religious books; anyone here would be like perfect for me.'
i suck at this.

God's sense of humor

I haven't been going to church on Wednesday nights hardly at all this year (3 or 4 times since Christmas maybe?). I know I need to go, but I haven't wanted to, and I've been tired, and just plain haven't. 
Today I really felt like I had to go. I was talking with Angie, telling her I was too tired and didn't want to go, but knew I needed to, but sadly the last time I had been there I had seen a schedule and I knew Pastor Kinzie isn't scheduled to share until next week or the week after, so I didn't have that motivation to make me go. If there was a chance of Pastor Kinzie, I would go gladly.
Then I was talking with Zaire, telling her that I was too tired to go, but I knew I needed to. "Does it make you feel energized when you go?" "I don't know. Meal time drains me. I wish they didn't have meal time, or had it first so I could show up after it. Instead I just have to hope that the speaker will go over time-wise, so the meal gets cut short."
I made myself go. I knew I needed to. And as I sat down I noticed that Pastor Kinzie had a folder full of papers. I started. Turns out his wife was supposed to speak tonight, but wasn't feeling well. So he then read what she had written. And being a pastor, he couldn't help but expound upon what was said. I grabbed a pen and started scribbling notes furiously, until he finally smiled and said, 'But I'm not here to preach. We're running a little late now, so I better be done.' I so didn't want him to be. 
But I had to laugh. Because here I unexpectedly got Pastor Kinzie and a short mealtime. So I have no excuses not to go. God is funny sometimes. :)
