Don't worry I'm not dead, yet. This weekend was a fun one. Obviously on Friday there was snow and rain and ice. ugh! Well saturday was somewhat better. I had to shovel that snow and ice. grrrrr!! Took me and my dad almost 3 hours to do everything. Jess stopped by while I was doing that stuff. Her and Casey went to the mall again, for what? I'm not sure. What I do know is its probably for her prom dress which she has chosen and has told me the color but refuses to show me. I'm sure I'll be suprised. That night I went over her house and we just hung out with her family. There's a crazy bunch to hang around with. J/k. It was fun.
Today, I woke up at 8:00 and went to church for 9. Yes, Rob is going back to church. Well that went until about 11:30. The service goes by quicker than you think. After that, I dropped Jeremy off(Jess' brother) and then headed home. I ate and then took a nap. Then around 3:30 it was off to Jess' again. We left and dropped her sister off at her friend's house then went to Wally World(Wal*Mart). Stopped and talked to Tom for a while then went off to the Alpha gathering. See, I signed up for this course called Alpha. What it is is a course for people interested in knowing more or learn more about the Christian faith. I'm doing it mostly for myself cause I felt like 2 things were missing from my life. One was a girl, which I have now. The other I wasn't sure of, but then I decided to get involved in the church Jess was in. At first, I was a little apprehensive, but I actually liked it. I started going back to church 2 weeks ago and that's when I heard about the Alpha course. I signed up, and I think I know what I've been missing and that's God. Not sure yet, but I have a gut feeling.
When I went to the service last weekend I wasn't sure what to think of. I was always used to stand, sing, sit, reading, stand, sing, sit, lecture, communion, stand, sing. Yeah real boring. zzzzzzzzzzz. But, Jess' church is cooler. You come in and then hand you a pamplet of whats goin on in the day's sermon. You get there talk to a few people and then sit. There are announcements and then you stand and sing. Might be 1 song or it could be 3. Varys cause today we did 1 song. Then they talk and then more singing. And I was just used to just shaking hands with everyone just sitting next to you, in front or behind. When they all do that, they go all over the place!!! Yeah definitely cooler. Instead of readings, the Pastor speaks of a chapeter in the Bible and you can follow along and write things down in the pamphlet they give you. Afterwards, you sing AGAIN!! But then it's time to leave. People still hang around and talk and alot of people are starting to know me cause I've been labeled Jess' Boyfriend. Though her parents still say friend. Well they're gonna have to get used to me :p. Well thats about it, I'm off to play some CounterStrike. Later y'all
