AHoD - Entry 2

About two years ago come July 7th, I was invited to Church by my friend Judy after a five year “hiatus” we’ll call it. My other friend Robin invited her to this church, as well as myself but I said “I wasn’t ready.” Judy knows how to deal with me. She uprights goes to my house and picks me up ready or not. I still grumble at the fact she knows me so well.
Anyways…I go to church and the moment I step in and hear the music I know that I’m home. Everything is so inviting. The funny thing is, is that the Pastor asked who was a first timer at this church. Of course me being the “loud and proud” type of exhibitionist back then, (no I’m not into THAT tisk tisk) stood up and raised my hand. Self humility and self humiliation are two different things. I do both things well.
On the note of self humiliation, the Pastor said “Welcome, here is a gift!” and promptly threw a book at me. I’m kind of uncoordinated in sports and the only sport I really played was volleyball. My first reaction was to “bump” the book back but that would be inappropriate. I think I let it hit me or something. This book was . I flipped through the pages just to get a gist of the story line. The first line talked about Starbucks, a place I like to call home. I knew instantly this book was for me. I had a wonderful time at church, went home and went to investigate the book further.
As I was reading this book, I was more excited and giddy than I have ever felt in a long time. I was still coming down from my spiritual high from church. Then I hit the wall. This book started talking about love. Exasperated I set the book down for a few moments, looked up and sighed. Maybe it won’t be that bad. So I went back into the book again. The author separated the book into three parts. I jumped to the second part.

Blah blah blah blah about the book what it did to my outlook on life etc etc etc blah blah blah yada yada yada
