The Perspective of a Not-Raised-in-Church Kid.

Julian's post was thought-provoking for me - I was not made to go to church as a child. My dad was in retail, and he often had to be at work by 10 on Sundays, so our family did not attend a church. I went to a Christian school, but for me, going to church was always a treat. It was special - something I only did when i was with grandparents or friends.

Anyway, now that I am a grown woman with 2 kids of my own, I look forward to going to church. I like feeling connected to God and to other believers - and I bring my kids with me. Right now, one of them LOVES going to church because for her, it is just playtime with other kids. The other is too young to care where he is. This makes me wonder though, what my kids will think about church as adults having "had" to go as kids. Hopefully, they will always want to go.......
