I Worshipped At Wal-Mart
I didn't make it...
I made it through the door. I cooed at a baby - our newest church member. I wrote my name on an empty list promising to pray each day at two a.m. for the friends going to Moldova. I spoke with one of them - he wanted to know about Amy...then he asked about me...
I dropped a check in the offering plate and scurried to Wal-Mart for milk.
I don't do church well without Amy.
I don't seem to be doing a lot of things well lately with or without Amy.
I walked the aisles of Wal-Mart and wondered if God will accept a man who worships Him only by cleaning the toilets and mowing the grass at the church and leaves the rest of church to someone else.
Tomorrow I have a Deacon's meeting and decisions I think.

Is God big enough to accept a man who worships Him only by cleaning the toilets and mowing the grass at the church and leaves the rest of church to someone else?
Yes, I AM.
Dear Michael,
God is always with us, no matter how bleak our days may seem. My prayers are with you, Amy, and your church family.
I look forward to your writings...
They help me think and meditate on my relationship with God.
I am very thankful for the blessings that God has bestowed on loved ones and on me.
Blessings.
Hey, I was glad to see you. I have such confidence in your spiritual life that if I see you've gone, I assume you're doing your thing somewhere.
Live in this season, I would say.

"I am with you always," especially when you're cleaning my toilets!
You have always been one of His beloved children, Michael, and you have shown His love to so many.
It is OK to need some love and support, yourself. Reach out and take some.
Faithfully,
Thinking about you today
Church can be really really hard without your other self. It's a good thing to (occasionally) go to church and just be still -- I wonder sometimes if we do the "fellowshiping" thing just a little too much....
