It has seemed such a bleak week in the news that I am contemplating going to church Easter Sunday.
Since I left the church and organized religion over forty years ago, I have been to church (and synagogue and mosque) on a few occasions; usually at the invitation of of a church member. I’ve long known that I’ve never disliked services and I do find church services to be fascinating...without all of the dogma.
I have an affection for the pomp, circumstance, and ritual; the “bells and smells” of it all. And every so often I do connect with the message that a pastor or priest or rabbi is delivering.
I don’t have to go to work until the afternoon, so I will have time to do so. Most holidays (religious or otherwise) I like to work and do other things to take up the time. Even if I don’t go to church, I don’t have difficulty contemplating things on my own.
Yes, there are a couple of personal things bothering me. Yes, I am finding the news disturbing. And while
Maybe Easter services will help my mood. Maybe they won’t (I have a variety of acceptable church service to choose from within a few blocks of me.) Maybe I’ll hear something that I need to hear. Who knows?
Whatever it takes.

TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
