First of all, over the last couple of weeks, God has been sending me the same message over and over again: He loves me in my imperfection. He loves me just as I am. And NOTHING will ever change that. I didn't know I need to hear that message, but apparently I do...a lot! So thanks for being His coinduit to me today. :) 

I grew up in the Catholic church - talk about perfection and predictability! I, too, love the more loosey-goosey atmosphere at the non-denominational church where I worship these days. One of the reasons I love it is that it keeps me engaged. I can't just sit back for the ride like I could during mass, standing, sitting, reciting on cue. I have to pay attention so I don't zig when everyone else zags - and so I know why everyone is laughing!
