rositas

so a few friends and i went out to lunch at rositas after church today...we were there for hours. it was a good conversation. frustrating but good. i wish that i were better at communicating so that i could be more persuasive. i feel so lacking. i feel so right. but then i guess that is because my entire theology is based upon experiences.

seriously, a lot of what we have been talking about has made me rethink my choice in a church. i have been thinking that now would be a good time to sneak out. there are so many new people, i am sure that my absence will not be noted. i am not sure that i can stay under this theology. and i worry about the heart behind it all.

today's message was a perfect example of this. all of the right things were said...but i don't see us as a church living that out. sad. this is not a place that i feel comfortable bringing new and growing christians.

i have not yet really made a decision. i don't want to leave. i love the people there...i feel like i will be somehow hurting them if i go. i suppose that is simply pridefullness. but logically i see no reason to stay if i disagree with them on such a large and important issue.

its a lot to think about.
