Liturgy likely looming

Well, one thing that can get me to go to church once in a while happened last night. Erin and Jon both asked to go. For one, the parochial school they attend tracks their church attendance (and Sunday school, too, which they've never gone to because we were going to the 5:00 p.m. service). For another, they both acted like they actually wanted to go which is really odd because when we went before it was always a "Aw, do we have to?" slumped shoulders thing and then an hour of them being bored sitting in the pews. Go figure. Gloria, on the other hand, expressed no interest in renewing church attendance whatsoever, and of course Morgann is still recovering from the church experience of her upbringing and has always politely declined (I am not even sure if she considers herself a Christian any more).

I don't believe in foisting my current journey off on the kids (let alone Les, who isn't in the same place I am at on all this). So I will make an effort to get them to services enough to fulfill their desire to be part of church. I think some of it is youthful interest plus they get to see some of their friends from school there. We won't go so often that they'll grow back into being bored and we'll see how it goes. I don't think my mind on the topic is going to be changed much but I will do this for my children.
