Church

I was going to go to church today, but I decided against it at the last minute (I know. I know).
I did, however, watch the service (for the church that I wanted to attend) online. In looking at the video, I started to get a little intimidated. When I first looked at this church (on TV), the congregation looked medium sized. When they panned the entire audience today, that church was HUGE. I'm not really sure how I feel about this.

I'm on the fence about the size because I don't really want to belong to a "mega" church. I am not a big fan of mega churches at all. In a lot of those churches, it seems like everyone is more concerned with putting on a show as opposed to actually hearing and spreading the word. It's all about out dressing the next person, coming in and bragging and talking about the fellow congregation members.

Don't get me wrong. This church was not as huge as The Potter's House, but it was a pretty large group of folks. I'm thinking about whether or not I'm going to try and attend next week. It's weird because, I'm only going to be here for the next 2 weekends. Then, I'm out of town for the next 2 weekends after that due to the Thanksgiving holiday and work. I'm not sure if I really want to get started at a new church for only two weeks only to be gone. Then, I'll only be here for another 2 weekends after I return, and then I'm out of town for the Christmas holiday. It's kind of hard to get into a pattern when you're not going to be here. There's a good chance that I might just start attending after the first of the year.

I know most people might read this and say it doesn't make a difference. You should attend church at any time. Those people would probably be right. However, I can only live for me. I have to do what's best for me. I don't really want to start church and then have to stop. We shall see, though.
