Oh My!

It was a very dramatic Sunday at our house yesterday. Firstly, it was our first Sunday away from Lifespring (my church). It was kind of harder than I expected. I think I'm still in denial, because I kept telling myself that we were just checking out a church for my mom's work (she was a Children's Minister at Lifespring and recently quit). If any of you church people are reading this, know that I missed you terribly (yes, even you, Josh ;p). No one will ever replace you guys. We went to the Westside Vineyard, and I must say, it was rather....Vineyard-y. The singer, who was really good, kind of talked like, "Heeeyyyy guyyyss. Wee just wannaa, yaa knooow, lift God upp todaayy." Kind of hippie-ish. Then the preacher kind of yelled. He was an expository preacher (meaning that he picked a parable or chapter and explained it verse by verse), and he was teaching on Luke 16, the parable of The Shrewd Manager. That parable is really hard to understand, and he started off well, but then it kind of blew up. He started yelling, and the theme was "Be Generous" which had nothing to do with the story. Though everyone was very friendly , and I liked the diversity among the church-goers, it wasn't a place I can see my family and I going every Sunday.

Then we got home, and Mom came out on the trampoline with me. This is where the real drama starts. All the sudden, my mom falls over and tells me to go get my dad in a very alarmed voice. So I run inside, and before you know it, he's calling 911. Sirens, flashing lights, stretchers. The whole thing. Turns out she dislocated her knee cap. Now she has to use a brace and crutches (which I love to walk around on). It was really scary, because my mom's really tough, and when she acts hurt, you know she really is. She was way braver than I would have been, I can tell you that. So that is the cause for my "Oh My!".

I'm jazzed, because next Sunday is Easter. Yay yay yay yay! I seriously love Easter. Cool people come over (Megan, Burton family, Bennet family, my uncle, ect.) and my mom makes delish food (HAM, deviled eggs, HAM...). We are going to Westside, so thankfully I will be around people I know. After that, it's back to the church hunting, though. Ughhhh!
