Sleepy Trae

I have been sleeping entirely too much! I have been going to bed too early and waking up too late. I don't think that I have seen 9:00 am this week at all. Who am I kidding... I don't think I've seen 10:00. My job needs to start. I have been spending too much time alone... EVEN TOO MUCH TIME ALONE FOR ME!! That is strange. I LOVE being with only me. It has been good though. I have been reading Desiring God by John Piper. I have also read a book called Gracious Space and I am reading In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen... both of those for work. I have also taken up scripture memorization. I haven't done that since I was a kid and I haven't had to memorize anything for years so it is slow going... but this is what I have so far. "Whom have I in heaven but You and besides You there is nothing that I desire on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:25-26 and "Pursue peace with all men and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14 And uh.... I am still working on todays. pretty good eh?

I am searching far and wide for a church. I went to a church called Mars Hill which is the one that all The Well dwellers told me to check out. It was definitely part of the "emerging church" movement. I didn't know any of the songs. and there were soooo many people there. The preaching was alright but I felt like people were laughing through the whole thing. I don't feel like I really learned anything and I don't really like it when people preach to get a reaction out of people. I want a church that focuses on doctrine and where I feel like I am intellectually stimulated and where I can worship in spirit and truth. I also want a place where people notice that I am there. NO ONE said hello to me at this church. sad. It might take me a year just to find a church. That's a little disheartening.
