Day 166

It's Sunday, which means a few things.  Number 1: try another church.  Number 2: cleaning.  Number 3: more football (Pro Bowl).  Number 4: grocery shopping.

After the church we tried two weeks ago, John wanted to try a non-denominational church just because they tend to have younger people and we're definitely looking for a place that has people in the same path of life that we are, along with some from other walks so we can learn and grow.  So we went to Calvary Temple, a church about 5 minutes away.  I did some research on the church and it seemed promising.  They're even doing a Bible study by Beth Moore, which one of my friend's is also doing.  That really excited me because Becky, my aforementioned friend, seems to really be into this study and I would love to do a study as I never have.  Plus, this church has a service for the 20 and 30 somethings.  Sounded perfect.  However, after going to the church, it just wasn't right.  I think the search for a church is going to be really difficult.  I want a more traditional church: hymns, the Lord's prayer, and most importantly, communion every Sunday.  Yet both John and I want a church that has a good population of people our age, who tend to have gravitated away from the traditional church.  Hopefully God will lead us to the right church soon.

Once we got back from church, we cleaned.  Growing up, that's what my family did.  We got up Sunday morning, went to church, came home and started to clean.  And not just a pick up your room kind of clean.  I mean the whole kit and kaboodle.  Vacuum, mop, dust, clean the bathrooms top to bottom, change the sheets, do the laundry, etc.  It's funny.  Looking back.  I am now the exact same.  I don't like to do that stuff any other day.  Just Sunday. 

I also like to do the grocery shopping Sunday.  However, that sentiment is quickly changing as I've realized if I go during the day on Monday, there is about 5% of the crowd that would have been there on Sunday.  That's especially nice because when I go grocery shopping, I take my list and just walk around.  I've gotten pretty good at sticking to the list, but I still like to take my time and just tune out everything.  It's relaxing.  Spaghetti sauce was on my list today and of course I had a coupon for some Ragu.  It's not my favorite, but for the price I can throw in some additional spices.  Imagine my heart break with I did see my favorite marinara sauce.

Rao's.  Oh my gosh.  If you haven't had this sauce, you are missing out.  As you can see, the price is steep.  I paid $3 and some change for a jar twice this size.  Gosh.  I love this sauce.  I can just eat it plain.  It is that good.
