After talking to Sandra I realize that it is probably about time for some personal reflection. I haven't really taken the time to stop and think about what i'm doing and thinking. Since she left for class i've thought about a lot of stuff that has happened recently. I think i came to some really valid relizations. Also, I think i miss church a whole lot. Next time i go home i need to be sure i'm at church sunday with my grandma. Its not the religious aspect so much, its the people and what they make me feel. They always make me want to be a better person and they always make me appreciate every part of life. Community of Christ...I think its about time i start remembering what that means and what it stands for.
I think I'm going to sit here in the library and do some thinking. Plus, I need to figure out when i can go to church again. I miss Ed, Lois, Ken, Carol, George, Jennet, Ed and all the other old people. Most of them are 70+ but sometimes i think they have more joy and energy then my young self. I also need big yet fragile hungs from all of them. They feel so strong, but they come from some of the most fragile bodies. Those bodies do have the strongest spirts though.
Everyone should hug someone today. I remember one time we told the person next to us in church that God loved them and that we loved them. The man i told has some learning disabilities and lives in an assisted living facility with some friends he goes to church with. He smiled such a beautiful smile at me that day, and ever since he smiles that same smile at me when i go back. I hope i never forget how that feels.
