Yinz Aren't Going to Believe This One
Guess what I did today? I went to church. Okay, most of you probably don't realize how big of a deal that is, but I haven't ever willingly gone to a church in my life. Some of my hatred of organized religion is based on early experiences, and I admit that they're my own personal prejudices. However, I found my way this morning to the UU Church in South Hills: Sunnyhill. I almost turned around in the parking lot and drove home, but I made it in. I met many welcoming and wonderful people, and I think I'm going to try visiting the UU church on the North Side that supposedly is focused on social justice before I make any commitments, but it was an adventure for me today! Also, I submitted my deposit to attend Writing Between the Lines in Kenya next December. That's right, Kenya! I received a fellowship to the Summer Lit. Seminar programs, and I'm just so excited for the safari portion of the trip. Is is awful that I'd rather take pictures than write poetry?!

This all sounds awesome! I'm a lot like you when it comes to church, and I've been really meaning to try the UU church here. More than anything, I just long for a community of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to hear about how the Kenya trip goes! It sounds so exciting.
