Church Is So Boring
Church is so boring!! It really is the pits. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed it. The hymns.. humph. Talk about the old "classics"! I don't think even one of them was written before the turn of the century! Some of the hymns are nearly as outdated as the old lady who sits in the second pew from the front on the left hand side of the Church. (You can tell what I do with my time in Church.)I know that worshipping God is important, but I'm not convinced that it should be like being forced to watch an hour of Party Political Broadcasts. Toture. It's so boring. No-one else my age goes, so why should I? Not unless you count the organist's grandson, who never even attempts to talk to me anyway. Well, he can go jump!
Church i so boring!! I can't remember the last time I heard a good sermon, let alone one that challenged me.
"When did you last listen to a sermon, Peter?" asked a voice from somewhere.
"Go Away!" I said aloud. I'm not interested.
"Oh yes you are. You wouldn't be telling me to go away otherwise. When was the last time you listened?" A few years back. It hasn't changed though.
"How do you know? You've not even listened to one sermon by your current minister!"
Okay, okay. So?
"You won't learn if you're not willing to listen to Me."
Admit it, God, you messed up with the one before out current Rev...
"He needed to find his calling."
As a taxi driver??
"I need people in every walk of life, Peter! The hymns?"
Are awful.
"Remember the meeting about worship? Looking for new ideas. You didn't bother going!"
I'd have been the only young guy.
"Exactly! Your input is needed."
Well, I guess I have been slightly apathetic. But what about the organist's grandson?
"You've never spoken to him. Not even tried."
Sorry.
"Why not go and talk to him next Sunday? You might find a much needed friend. And, why not go and see the old lady you were moaning about? Sure she's eighty, but she's going on eighteen!" I will. I'll try. I'm sorry. I've not done a good job of following you.
"You're sorry, and it's a new start."
Just like that?
"Just like that. You may be lost, and you may moan an awful lot, but I still love you Peter! I always have."
